MP3 Tom Hartig - The Somnambulist
17 MP3 Songs
JAZZ: Modern Creative Jazz, JAZZ: Weird Jazz
Details:
“The Somnamulist” is an instrumental jazz musical journey through a long night of sleeping and waking. It starts with the ticking of the clock as the night begins, and continues through the dreams, thoughts and nightmares that make up the rest of the night until sleep takes over at the end. This project was put together over a four year period by Tom Hartig, who performs all the saxes, clarinets, flutes and keyboards.
Tom Hartig Bio
A native of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Tom started his musical career as a clarinetist in the Cleveland Elementary School Band. Reviews from that period have been lost to history. As his career progressed, Tom gained proficiency in saxophones, flutes and keyboards.
After studies at Augustana College and North Texas State University, Tom began a road career in various ensembles with repertoires ranging from jazz (he’d rather eat) to disco (he’d rather forget.) Leaving the road for an actual house, he settled in Omaha, where he joined his brothers in film production while maintaining his musical chops on the side. A noted highlight of this period was scoring the music for the feature length sci fi movie, A Conversation with an Alien.
In the decades since, Tom’s skill with multiple instruments has earned him a stand on the touring shows of Johnny Mathis, Mel Torme, Tony Orlando, The Temptations, Lionel Hampton, Gunther Schuller, The Four Tops, Shari Lewis and Lambchop, Dick Contino, George Jones, Marie Osmond, The Shirrells, Bo Diddley, Mickey Rooney, Robert Goulet, Michael Feinstein, Eartha Kitt, Manhattan Transfer, Three Dog Night, Rosemary Clooney, Olivia Newton-John, Frank Sinatra Jr., The Supremes and many more.
Tom’s Omaha work continues with performances in local jazz and rock acts, as well as recordings with Mannheim Steamroller and regular appearances with the Omaha Symphony and pit work with Broadway touring companies.
His first solo CD When No Sound Follows was released in 2003. The Somnambulist, solo project #2, was released in the Spring of 2008. Right this minute Tom is a video producer with American Gramaphone Records. He is married and still lives in the house in Omaha
