QUOTES ABOUT TOMMY

Tommy is a great musician and have a great heart! What more can I say!

STEVE LUKATHER (Toto, session legend)
----------------------------------------

Tommy is one of the most well-rounded guitar players I have heard. He has rock, rhythm and soul.

JOHN "JR" ROBINSON (Session legend, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand)
----------------------------------------

Tommy is one of the rarest of musicians, one that has risen above technique, into his own strata of style that is beyond description. What can you say about someone who can play rings around just about everyone except, "WOW!" or "Holy Shit!!!".. I am very honored to be his friend and to get to work with him.

BRUCE GAITSCH (Madonna, Richard Marx, Celine Dion)
----------------------------------------

Tommy is one of most talented musicians, songwriters and producers in rock today.

FERGIE FREDERIKSEN (Toto)
----------------------------------------

Tommy Denander is one of the finest players / songwriters / producers I've worked with in my career.  A real pleasure.

JIMI JAMISON (Survivor, Baywatch theme)
----------------------------------------

Tommy and I met and his guitar playing was so inspiring we wrote 5 songs in a day. He has a natural sense of song structure and a wealth of good ideas but his phrasing and note choice are a cut above.

RICKY PHILLIPS (Styx, Coverdale - Page)
----------------------------------------

In the few years that I have known him personally and worked with him it's been nothing less than pure energy and and sheer genius! From his playing to his writing and producing he is stream lined and focused. There are only a few people in this world that I have been so fortunate to know over the years that I can say this about..... Thanks to People like Tommy Denander I personally have been uplifted and reunited with the art of song writing and musicianship that rivals the 5 star players of the world... Move over Desmond Child and Mutt Lange... you got company!

ROBIN BECK
----------------------------------------

Tommy is a hell of a drum programmer, he raised the bar

PAT MASTELOTTO (Mr Mister, King Crimson)
----------------------------------------

Tommy's THE burnin', killer guitar player. He transformed my new project...and he's a nice guy! :-)

DAVID DIGGS (Quincy Jones, Brothers Johnson)
----------------------------------------

Recently in Los Angeles, Tommy and I wrote for my new album.  He is an incredible talent!  His melodic sense is amazing, and he really gets what the 'hook' thing is all about.  "I Can't Cry" is easily the best song on the new album, and is a definite hit song!

STAN BUSH (Emmy winning song writer)
----------------------------------------

I was very moved by the piece that Tommy played in conjunction with Jason Becker.  It was a wonderful thing to do, for all the right reasons, and I am very glad to be associated at all with it!

STEVE MORSE (Deep Purple)
