Origin/OA2 Records & City Hall Records Catalog - "A mainstay in Philadelphia jazz clubs for over a decade, composer and tenor saxophonist Tom Tallitsch presents the first recording of his quintet - a forward looking yet mainstream grouping of some of Philly's finest musicians. Performing articulate, modern jazz, Tallitsch's band explores alternate sonorities with its vibes and guitar led rhythm section, slightly reminiscent of Gary Burton's groups of the '70s. With Tony Miceli (vibraphone), Victor Baker (guitar), Paul Gehman (bass) and Dan Monaghan (drums)." -

Tom Tallitsch’s Honors:
Original Composition 'Yellow' from Tom's 2008 album 'Medicine Man' Featured at the 2008 IFP Gotham Film awards in NYC.
JazzTimes July/Aug 2008 Forrest Dylan Bryant "Expanding from a duo setting to a quintet for his sophomore CD release, Tom Tallitsch offers up pleasant, unassuming original compositions that keep the proceedings casual but agreeably propulsive..."
Philadelphia Enquirer Karl Stark 3/9/08 " After 12 years in Philly, tenor saxophonist Tom Tallitsch can meet the demands for what a tenor should sound like..."
AllAboutJazz John Barron 2/19/08 "...With Medicine Man Tallitsch demonstrates his potential to stand above the innumerable tenor saxophone sound-a-likes plaguing the jazz scene. With the aid of his like-minded musical brothers, he has produced a clever, stimulating session."
