Tom Varner
| There have been few French horn soloists in jazz
but, even if there had been dozens, chances are that Tom Varner
would rank near the top. He started on piano at age ten and a few years
later switched to French horn, discovering his predecessor Julius
Watkins' recordings when he was 17. He graduated from New England
Conservatory and in 1979 moved to New York. Since that time Varner
has recorded several albums (mostly for Soul Note) as a leader and has
worked with such players as Dave Liebman, Bobby Watson, George
Gruntz (with his Concert Jazz Band), John Zorn, Steve
Lacy, Lee Konitz and Bobby Previte. Varner has
almost single handedly made the difficult French horn a viable jazz
instrument for the 1990s. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide Hear the Real Audio clip of the title track from Covert Action Order Tom Varner CD's online at osmun.com |
