Innovative jazz vocalist Tom Barton has joined with guitarist/composer Diego Villalta to release an album of improvised works recorded in Osaka, Japan, in early 2015. This album is the duo’s first recording, following years of musical collaboration between the Victorian College of the Arts graduates. Press for Tom Barton tombarton.net “A soothingly smooth tenor, occasionally wordless … always with profound expression, drawing on historic examples of jazz singers but injecting his personality and interpretations.” – The Weekend Australian “Poetry in motion with beautifully clear-headed vocals … Electronic and acoustic thoughts merge and co-exist beautifully.” – All About Jazz “Barton’s mastery and marrying of so many genres really is a gift to behold.” – Australian Musician Network Press for Diego Villalta diegovillalta.com “Diego Villalta, is really … really good. I’m enjoying this immensely. Some beautiful playing here.” – Steve Robertson (PBS FM, 3RPC) “Fingers in pies, foot in doors and knee deep in the thick of Melbourne’s music scene. Diego is the go-to man.” – Miss P, The House of Marc and Linker
