Tom came to Phoenix at age 7, and after a flirtation with top 40 KRIZ and KRUX, discovered jazz on KXTC. That was the beginning of a jazz and radio addiction that continues to today. He holds jazz responsible for his home life, because he met his wife Genny at Two Lips Café at a New Moon Jazz Quintet gig.
His own band "Hacksaw Blues" debuted in '80s with singers David Andrews and Linda Brooks, playing the local clubs like Warsaw Wally's, Purple Turtle, and the Rhythm Room. But life on the road and playing in clubs didn't bring in the income he needed to support his jazz habit, so he became the full-time manager at KTAR in the mid-'90s for over a decade, winning several jazz awards in his spare time.
But he couldn't stay away from radio jazz, so he went back on the air in 2010 with the "Blues Radio with Full Moon Hacksaw" summer show starting on KWCD-FM, Bisbee Arizona, then he moved to Radio Phoenix, where he does his weekly show.
His radio and musical philosophy is based on his experiences in radio, on tours, and in cutting CD's. The mind, body and spirit have personal needs, and jazz is a lens thru which its enthusiasts view the world. Jazz feeds the mind, and its core, the blues, feeds the body. Both feed emotions and the soul.
