    Tomas did some great sax playing on my song. He did 3 full takes on the song giving me plenty of melodic fills and harmonic textures to add. I found his playing to be very free and melodic and complementing of the composition. I look forward to working with him again!

    Tomas is a fabulous talent, intuitively knowing when to play melody, when to add fills, when to take off into improvisation. Also, he gets when to play standard, when to deviate into bop and beyond, when to soar, when to understate. Highly musical mind, and a great technical player. Recommended collaborator.

    Another excellent collaboration with Tomás! I had an alto sax part that was rather demanding in the upper register of the instrument, but he was able to play everything smoothly. The result sounds effortless and is amazing!

    Tomás is a great musician and a very nice person. Our first collaboration was excellent, he played both the alto and tenor saxes with great skill, implemented my comments accurately, and even provided some valuable input. Definitely recommended!

    I scored a difficult alto sax bop part for a quartet already recorded and Tomás nailed it on the first take. He showed his versatility by adding an edge and a flair that made it all sound live. Like he was playing in the room with us. He is wonderful to work with. Highly recommended!

    Tomás is a superb alto sax player. I have recorded every genre of jazz with him, from swing to blues, bop to chill, fusion to new age, and he plays every style with cleverness, clarity and conviction. You cannot go wrong choosing him. Plus, he is wonderful to work with. Highly recommended!

    Excellent jazz saxophonist. Especially on alto. Full of expressive intimacy, fluid lines, great ear, and rehearses his parts before recording. A pleasure to work with. A true collaborator. Highly recommended.

    Excellent alto sax player with a very intimate sound. Also great on tenor sax. His technique captures close mic details, adding air and breath to his sound. Works both by ear and from scores / charts. Wonderful jazz ear. Highly recommended.

    Tomás is one of the best up-and-coming jazz alto sax players out there. He also has recorded on tenor for me. His alto has a rich tenor-like sound, and his stylings are cool and intimate. He can play anything for bebop to chill. Versatile and very nice to work with. Highly recommended.

    Tomás combines old school chops with modern jazz invention, creating memorable lines and true emotion. A true musician. Intuitively understands what needs to be done to flesh out the music, and also takes direction very well. Highly recommended.

    Tomás is my go-to jazz, bop, chill saxophonist on alto and tenor. Mellow, inventive, takes the extra time to craft unique lines and connect to the flow of the overall piece. Is able to record to capture the intimate breath and mouthpiece work that bring certain pieces to life. Highly recommended.

    Tomás’ sax playing is excellent. His note choices are perfect for jazz inflected fusion or straight ahead jazz. His tone is intimate and emotional. Perfect for chill or blues or hip tunes. I love working with him. His phrasing is melodic and memorable. Highly recommended.

    Tomás spends the time extending my arrangements with a combination of original improvisation and parallel melodies and harmonies derived from my piano playing. Everything sounds organic, as if we are playing together in the same studio space, which is the best of all results. He’s a joy to work with. Highly recommended.
