Tom Tallitsch Releases Contemporary Instrumental Jazz CD Duality
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Philadelphia, PA--January 30, 2006--Tom Tallitsch has
released an inviting contemporary instrumental jazz CD titled
Duality. This is music for relaxing. Picture yourself in
front of warm fire emptying your mind and letting the
soulfulness of each note permeating your being.
Tallitsch, referred to as one Philadelphia's musical gems, has
lived in the Philadelphia area for nearly ten years. In that
time span he has established himself as a major player on the
Philadelphia jazz scene working in such top clubs as Ortlieb's,
Chris's Jazz, and Zanzibar Blue. Additionally he has become a
prominent jazz educator, performed live broadcasts and
interviews on WRTI Temple U. Public Radio, and toured throughout
the country as a bandleader, sideman, and clinician.
Tom's musical training began at the tender age of five on the
piano, and later he picked up the saxophone, clarinet, and the
flute. He studied improvisation and composition with Cleveland
tenor men Ernie Krivda & Mike Lee, and University of Cincinnati
College Conservatory of Music's (CCM) jazz gurus, Rick Van
Matre, Phil Degreg & Pat Harbison. Although having the great new
album Duality to his credit is another prominent career
highlight, he currently owns a highly recommended tutoring
business and is artist faculty (saxophone/woodwinds) at Mercer
County College. Tom is the founding director of the Central NJ
Homeschool Bands, which provides home-schooled musicians the
opportunity to interact with other students in a creative band
setting. Tom's own personal experiences and learning methods
have enabled him to build a successful and inviting setting for
budding musicians.
Tallitsch offers his own compositions and standards on
Duality. He puts himself in good company covering
standout tracks such as "Visions" by Stevie Wonder and Wayne
Shorter's "Infant Eyes." While going through his own personal
jazz 'rights of passage' by covering standards, Tallitsch makes
his own history with full bodied tracks like "Propellerhead,
" which clocks in at over eight minutes and exceptional runs
of instrumental pleasure titled "Mablestates."<

Duality allows the judicious jazz connoisseur a simple
yet colorful listen provided by the guitar of Dave Manley, and
the relaxing earthy sax of Tallistch. The two instruments unify
their sound with gentle and prolific interplay, making it
evident that they were the only two instruments needed for this
recording to flesh out the album and perpetuate a perfect sync
between the two musicians. Although the word Duality means that
there are two sides to the coin, there is one thing that holds
true throughout the recording-a consistent attention to detail
and professionalism.
"A truly unique tenor sound and phrasing...fresh ideas and
great tunes." -Rick VanMatre University of Cincinnati College
Conservatory of Music (CCM) - Professor and Director of Jazz
Studies - Saxophone
