Tom Larson
Blues
|
Tom Larson was born in Maryland, but moved to Colorado at a young age. His family was very musical, so it was never a question whether he was going to play something, just what it might be. Like most children, early on making as much noise as possible seemed the best direction, so drums became the obvious choice. He bought his first drum set in junior high, then really started making some noise. He went to Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, studying Classical Percussion. He played in the San Juan Symphony, as well as picking up jazz and rock gigs around town. After a couple of years, he hit the road, landing in New Orleans. The amazing and seemingly unlimited assortment of music in New Orleans added to what he learned at the University of New Orleans. He graduated from the prestigious Jazz studies program there, studying with Ellis Marsalis, Harold Battiste, Steve Masakowski, David Lee, and Charles Blanq, and working privately with John Vidacovich. He played around the Crescent City, sampling everything from Jazz to Rock and Roll, Funk, Blues, World Beat, Latin, Zydeco, Cajun and Punk. |
