In
The Spotlight
A collection of high end unique solo arrangements of Show Tunes
& Standards. The CD showcases Tom's artistry as arranger,
producer, as well as performer on piano, synthesizer, and bari-tenor
voice. Special mention goes to Dan Barta for his arrangement
of Fascination Medley. Additional instrumentation includes bass,
percussion, guitar, & cello.
The styles include a touch of light jazz, fun pop standards,
and some highbrow Broadway with an occasional touch of the "artsy"
with a semi classical twist. And, just when you think things
might get too serious, there's a touch of humor... "I'd
Rather Cha Cha Than Eat."
The insert pages list special moments and people who inspired
the selection of and arrangements for the songs chosen. The
CD is dedicated to my first piano teacher who shared her longing
to one day have a student become a musician. Though advanced
in years when I began studying with her at the age of five,
I happen to have a picture of her dating back to the 1890's
when she was studying at the Pennsylvania Conservatory.

In The Spotlight Revues:
Tom's new CD reminds me of just how much joy there is in song. The joy
of rhythm and melody both drive this collection forward
brilliantly. The joy of words are so movingly assembled by Tom's
chosen lyricists. The joy of old songs are recast, with something new to
be said about an old familiar topic. There is a quality about Tom's
singing that is so comforting we are reminded warmly of the first time
we heard each song. Or, in the case of the Legrand/Bergman masterful
collaboration "On my way to you," a new discovery, an one so smooth and
natural it seems I've always known it. Even the joy of heartbreak speaks
through Tom's ballads - "The way we were," for example, is wonderfully
simple, as it truly is to have loved once...and to hope to again.

Move over Michael Feinstein... Tom Baust is 'In the Spotlight' with his long-awaited compact
disc. Tom's warm rich baritone is enhanced in this wonderful collection by both his skills
at the piano and his own unique arrangements.
-Terry Greenland
Faculty member of the University of the Arts

Tom Baust does it all! The ultimate performer, composer, and arranger, he excels in utilizing
all of his multi talents. Now he shows his keyboard artistry and vocals ever more widely on his new CD.
-Ed Wismer

of Somers Point, Linwood, & Northwood
I got your CD and am really quite impressed. There is great musicianship
behind this album. You have a lovely voice and do exciting arrangements...
It's really a gorgeous voice and you will go far with it.
-Margaret Whiting
Recording artist, Broadway lady,
and daughter of the late song writer Richard Whiting
Tom is the consummate singer: he conveys lyrics with the artistry of Sinatra and sings a silky-smooth melody with the gift of Mel Torme!
Tom's true talent lies in his ability to sing through the mike and into your heart: listening to his CDs, I always feel as if I'm in the same room with him.

Seven Praise and Worship Songs Revues:
Tom Baust always the finds the heart of my music when he sings it. In addition to his
performance being technically superior, I know he will touch the deepest parts of the
listener with his rich baritone voice and sensitive interpretation. That's why I keep
requesting him for my East coast recording sessions.

The Grand
Legrand
Mezza soprano Claudia Beechman, with her folk-like quality, sings
songs of Michel Legrand with Tom Baust at the keyboard.
Tom wrote the arrangements, and what often typifies his style,
sometimes will use the main song as a backdrop to encompass
several other tunes within the fiber of the same arrangement
or even simultaneously. He shares the vocal mic with Claudia
in one song medley featuring tunes from the Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
Other songs include: How Do You Keep The Music Playing, What
Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life, Summer Me Winter Me, and
more. The CD has gotten airplay on the Temple
Radio Station WXPN.
Available thru my E-mail
or from the Intermissions Bookstore (Chestnut Hill location),
or contact Tom or Claudia Beechman directly.

The Grand LeGrand Revue:
"What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" has a wonderful arrangment with
opening and closing phrasing reminiscent of Stephen Schwartz. Several piano variations
on classical themes create a compelling atmosphere in the interludes.
Umbrellas of Cherbourg - Baust demonstrates his further ability as a vocalist, singing
the part of Guy with sensitivity and theatrical skill and complementing Claudia...
"The Windmills Of Your Mind" is my favorite track on the CD and my favorite Michel
Legrand composition. It is very well done here (and there are several terribly poor versions.
Claudia is well supported by Bausts' best piano work on the CD.
The Grand LeGrand is the perfect CD for a quiet romantic evening with that special someone
and a good bottle of wine.
-Joey Madia of the New Mystics Music & Theatre Co
