William Theodore Carney III is the son of Philadelphia jazz notables, organist Trudy Pitts and drummer Mr. C. Known as TC The 3rd, this powerful jazz vocalist is well-versed in the art of jazz vocal styling. His CD, Life Force Jazz was recorded live at the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and The Performing Arts. TC grew up around Masters of this music, so, he decided to capture some of this great talent on a first-class recording. With his legendary friend, Norman Connors, TC III created an All-Star cast for a concert. Al Young of the Philadelphia Daily News described it as the "Greatest show in thirty years." Jon Hendricks wrote the liner notes. TC III sings with Gary Bartz on Song For Debra, written and arranged by Elmer Gibson. Joey DeFrancesco is on ROME ALONE with TC's lyrics, written to Don Braden's If I Were A Bell and on Rahsaan Roland Kirk's Bright Moments, with lyrics by Todd Barken, who manages Dizzy's Club at Jazz @ Lincoln Center in NYC. Trudy Pitt's solo on Abby Lincoln's Bird Alone is tremendous! His second CD, The Music released on October 1, 2021. "A vocalist gifted with good taste and impressive chops." - Hot House New York   "One of the top male vocalists singing jazz, today." - AllAboutJazz.com New Album: The Music on Spotifyhttp://www.lifeforcejazz.comhttp://tcthe3rd.comhttp://airplaydirect.com/music/tc3jazzhttp://wijsf.org

“Philly's got its own way of swing — it's a deep-rooted, down-home feeling” Drummer Tom Cohen must have had flames coming off his sticks when he finished recording his latest record. Short but mighty, My Take features five burning tracks with Philadelphia greats like Hammond B3 organist Dave Posmontier and guitarist Steve Warfield, tenor saxophonists Tim Warfield and Ralph Bowen, and Joey DeFrancesco, also the Hammond B3 of course. Musicians rotate through Tom's interpretations of five classic jazz tunes. Tom Cohen reminisces about his early days on the Philly jazz scene, hanging out at Gert's Lounge with jazz organ masters like Herbie Nicks and Shirley Scott. Though there was barely enough room between the stage and the bar to squeeze in two people, the music was so toe-tapping that people couldn't help but get up and dance. Philadelphia has rightly earned its reputation as a B3 town, especially considering the players that have come out of that city: the aforementioned Herbie Nicks and Shirley Scott, Don Patterson, Trudy Pitts, and Joey DeFrancesco. Listen to the full Bite-Size Jazz interview to learn more about Tom Cohen's love for the Philly jazz scene, his experience as a versatile studio musician, and his collaboration with Joey DeFrancesco for his latest album My Take.
