1992年出生于伦敦的英国吉他手Tom Olledorff 正迅速成为国际舞台上最有特色的年轻爵士音乐家之一。Tom因其高度独特的声音而广受认可，这种声音融合了高超的技巧与复杂的和谐语言、细微差别和灵敏度。既有传统爵士乐的优雅内敛，又有现代音乐的精妙灵动。2022年，他与Faber Music合作出版了他的首部吉他独奏作品集《练习曲》。此后，这本书在欧洲、亚洲、澳大拉西亚和北美的国际市场上畅销，巩固了他在更广泛的吉他界中的声誉。
2015年毕业于卡迪夫皇家威尔士音乐与戏剧学院，同年获得雅马哈议会爵士奖学金。2016年，他搬到伦敦开始他的职业生涯。
2021年，Tom在Fresh Sound Records发行了他的首张专辑《A Song For You》，这张专辑获得了国际赞誉，并开始了他的巡回演出生涯，他在欧洲和亚洲的许多顶级音乐节和俱乐部演出，包括罗尼·斯科特，马耳他爵士音乐节，爵士A Vienne，格拉斯顿伯里音乐节，东京棉花俱乐部，一天爵士音乐节等。
他作为领军人物的第二张专辑《开放屋》（2023年），包括他与马克·米歇尔（鼓手）和康纳·卓别林（贝斯手）长期合作的三人组，以及特别嘉宾萨克斯手本·温德尔的四首曲目。同年，他还与美国鼓手阿里·霍尼格合作推出了《Enchanted》，该专辑也在Fresh Sound Records发行。
作为一名表演者，Tom与许多领先的国际艺术家合作包括Ari Hoenig, Bill McHenry, Geoff Simkins, Aaron Parks, Will Vinson, Tim Garland, Nitai Hershkovits Ben Wendel.
Born in London in 1992, British guitarist Tom Ollendorff is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most distinctive voices of his generation on the international jazz scene.
He graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff in 2015, the same year he was awarded the Yamaha Parliamentary Jazz Scholarship. In 2016, he relocated to London to begin his professional career.
Tom released his debut album, A Song For You (Fresh Sound Records), in 2021. The record received international acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him to leading festivals and venues across Europe, Asia and Australasia, including Ronnie Scott’s, Malta Jazz Festival, Jazz à Vienne, Perth Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival, Glastonbury Extravaganza, The Cotton Club Tokyo, and One Day Jazz Festival, among many others.
His second album as a leader, Open House (2023), featured his long-standing trio with Marc Michel (drums) and Conor Chaplin (bass), alongside special guest Ben Wendel on four tracks. That same year, he also released Enchanted, a co-led project with American drummer Ari Hoenig, again on Fresh Sound Records.
In 2024, Tom released his first solo album, Solo Volume 1, on Ubuntu Records, accompanied by a series of solo concerts across Europe, including performances at the London Jazz Festival and the Larvik International Guitar Festival.
Widely recognised for his highly distinctive sound, Tom blends virtuosic technique with a sophisticated harmonic language, nuance, and sensitivity. In 2022, he published Etudes, his first collection of works for solo guitar, with Faber Music. The book has since sold internationally across Europe, Asia, Australasia, and North America, further cementing his reputation within the global guitar community.
As a performer, Tom has collaborated with many leading international artists, including Ari Hoenig, Bill McHenry, Geoff Simkins, Aaron Parks, Will Vinson, Tim Garland, Nitai Hershkovits and Ben Wendel.
Alongside his performing career, Tom is currently a visiting tutor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music has been a guest tutor at leading institutions worldwide, including the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Nanjing University, Bahçeşehir University Istanbul, and Leeds Conservatoire.
