Pianist Ron Thomas leads a quartet
with trumpeter (John Swana) out front on
The House of Counted Days, two things
jump out; an obvious Miles Davis
influence,and some striking originality.
The House of Counted Days is an
extraordinary CD. If Ron Thomas had a
higher profile it would win yearly top
ten honors. It'll be there anyway for
those of us who've had the privilege of
experiencing it.
Dan McClenaghan - All About Jazz
Ron Thomas' persona reminds me a bit
of the Archangel Gabriel, who appears on
all those great Renaissance paintings playing
the trumpet, except that Ron is a pianist.
↓ more ↓Ron, like Gabriel, stays in the background,
but has a big influence on what is going on,
and you know he's always up to something
musical while affecting the destinies of
those around him. A jazz pianist who resides
in Coatesville, PA, he came up in the sixties,
formed a close personal and musical bond
with guitarist Pat Martino, and has remained
heavily involved in both modern and classical
contemporary music throughout the past four
decades.
Vic Schermer - All About Jazz
Ron Thomas can be heard on Vectordisc
recordings as a leader (Scenes from a Voyage to
Arcturus, 17 Solo Piano Improvisations and
Cycles). Also, he appears as a sideman on
Richard Burton's "Simple Major/Simple Minor",
The Mike Falcone Quartet's "Playing Live" and
Kristin Garson's "Music Under the Influence".
He also has two other recordings under his
own name on Art of Life Records (Music in Three
Parts and Doloroso). Ron can be heard on two
classic Muse recordings from 1972 (Pat Martino's
Live and Eric Kloss's One , Two, Free).
