"Chapin... is a virtuoso... also one of the more schooled musicians in jazz, both technically and historically, and for his set he dug into the styles of everyone from Benny Carter to the 60's avant-gardists, screeching and howling and huffing as if this were 1964 and he was breaking the rules of jazz into pieces." -- Peter Watrous, 2/11/95, New York Times

In the world of music, there are special people who come along and open the door to new levels, who take a genre and expose dimensions that have never before been heard. That was Thomas Chapin!
