Tom Ford: Residency

Genre-Defying Jazz, Funk & Improvisation

Tom Ford brings his wide-ranging musical influences to Toulouse Lautrec for a new monthly residency driven by improvisation, curiosity and fearless creative expression.

Moving fluidly between jazz, funk and soul, the music pays tribute to artists as varied as The Police, The Smiths, Allan Holdsworth and Milton Nascimento. Rather than being restricted by genre, Tom uses these influences as a springboard for something distinctly his own: open, spontaneous music that continues to evolve with every performance.

Each instalment of the residency will offer something different, reflecting Tom’s continual pursuit of creative growth and change.
