”Tom Erickson is in the vanguard of the most recent wave of jazz composers
writing for large ensemble. With one foot in the big band tradition, his other
foot is planted firmly in the future, drawing on a number of genres from all
over the world of music. I really like what I hear from him now, and I believe
that this CD is a harbinger of great things to come. Long story short: keep
your ears and eyes on Tom Erickson!”
-Jim McNeely
”...The evening I attended they performed an amazing composition “The Long Way Around” written by local saxophonist and composer Tom Erickson. I was floored with the depth of his writing; it expressed a modernism that incorporated complex harmonic structures with the flow and energy of modern popular forms such as electronic music.”
- Paul Riola, Creative Music Works
Flying Dragon Orchestra (2009)
