"Tom's artistry on my record has been fundamental to our record's "sound." He didn't overplay at all on the record, but rather filled out the music and laid back, only stepping out when needed. And trust me, when he needed to step out, he did it with confidence, ease, and technical prowess. I would recommend Tom Bianchi without reservation for any studio project needing a good dose of skill, professionalism, understanding, and, of course, a sense of humor."

"It took about two seconds before I knew who to ask to play bass on my new album... Tom's talent and attention to each song made our all-day recording session easy, enjoyable, and a true pleasure. He was able to make the songs really take shape, and the final product far exceeded my expectations. Oh yeah, super nice guy, too!"

"Tom's humor and incredible improvisational abilities make him stand out as one the best entertainers around. But beyond the funny guy is a serious musician with sharp skills and a great ear. His rich, melodic bass playing significantly compliments the music whether he's doing his originals or accompanying another artist. He's also the only guy I know who looks cool in suspenders."

"Tom B. Hmmm...oh yeah, I remember that guy. Clients would hear his tracks and ask me how'd ya get THAT sound, my answer? It's in his fingers...no man, I mean what amp, mic etc. I repeat, it's in his fingers. I know tone, Tom has that tone. Simple. He knows what to play and when to lay out...someday we'll forgive him for moving to Boston."

"Working with Tom is a pleasure. He comes in prepared and with a great attitude. He gets the job done efficiently. His bright and humorous personality shines through his melodic ideas and simple phrasing. As a producer I look for this breed of musician to make my job easier and to bring out the best in the song-writers music. Tom succeeds in doing this 100%."

"Someday audio engineers will clone the perfect session musician and it will probably be a lot like Tom... minus the penchant for bumblebee colored clothes. Tom is as easy going as they come and all business when laying down tracks. He knows the role of his instrument and plays for the song, not for himself. He smells good, too."
