I wrote something about our JackTrip / ANU projects in the COVID times for Perfect Sound Forever, read it here as part of a collection of essays:
Category: Collaboration
Anthropods @ Vortex
A last minute dep for Mark Holub!
“depping like a hero for Covid-stricken Susanna Gartmayer, the supremely talented Tom Ward on bass clarinet.”
Play Talk Play with Rodrigo Constanzo
This was lots of fun!
John Pope Quintet @ Fizzle – Review
“It was a tribute to Ward’s skills that he fitted in seamlessly, playing flawlessly during the ensemble sections and also impressing as a creative soloist on both alto sax and bass clarinet.”
“astonishingly nimble bass clarinet solo from the admirable Ward”
“Ward’s alto excursion combined fluency with incisiveness,”
“Ward delivered a blistering alto solo”

Vestiges review
Nice write-up, alongside a Stoney Lane trio.
“a collection of split tones, slurs and cries from Ward’s reeds keep the narratives barbed as well as brimming with ideas”
