Tom Barabas is a man for all seasons. This album expresses the jazzy side of Tom, who is internationally known for his signature style of contemporary instrumental music. Tom’s roots are originally in classical music, which he studied in his native Hungary, and later in Venezuela where his family emigrated. It was jazz, however, that sparked in him a sense of musical freedom and thus propelled him into his first explorations beyond classical music. The improvisational aspects of jazz inspired him to think of composing his own pieces. Tom points out that the classical composers – Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach – were great improvisers. Tom Barabas is not limited by musical genres, and today may compose a classical piece, tomorrow contemporary instrumental, the next day a jazz number. For him, music has no boundaries. It is all an expression of love. The inspiration for this album came after Tom spent time in a health institute, and did a total body and spirit cleansing. He realized that no matter how your life is going or where your path has taken you, change is always possible. You can always start over. This music expresses that idea of transformation, of looking at oneself in a fresh and different way. It is also about feeling good, about feeling joyful and happy. Music has the power to lift the spirit. Melody touches the heart. Harmony heals, and rhythm energizes the body. It is never too late for a change!
