Tom Rust to perform at the Marbella Arts Festival


Tom Rust is performing on stage at 9.30pm at the Marbella Art Festival on Friday June 24th. This 3 day event is packed with various acts and art exhibitions plus countless other entertainment throughout the weekend.

About Tom Rust:

Unlike so many of his Stateside contemporaries, Rust refuses to stick to unwritten rules, avoiding paint-by-numbers renditions of songs that have been covered a million times, often in the same fashion.

Rust’s version of “That’s Amore” virtually ignores the Las Vegas schmaltz of the Dean Martin original that became the blueprint for countless young jazz vocalists, karaoke singers, and overweight wedding crooners.

Tom Rust gives it a modicum of swagger and an abundance of calm self- confidence; it’s as if James Bond were handed a microphone and was ordered to seduce a girl at a party, his deep British accent heightening the track’s ripe sensuality.” R Sutton – All about Jazz (USA)

Tom Rust has a voice of great character, with the subtlety to make swing songs really swing and enough edge to save ballads from blandness. Saints & Singers is his debut album – an excellent programme of classic but not over-performed songs, superbly accompanied by the Malcolm Edmonstone Trio.Dave Gelly – Jazz critic for The Observer
