" A very warm and melody-conscious improviser, Peron brings to mind the Miles Davis or Chet Baker school of heartfelt lyricism, but he has obviously absorbed the idea of brassier trumpeters like Kenny Dorham and Clifford Brown as well." - Alex Henderson for the Dedication album, 1996
"The conclusion one reaches after listening to the stimulating music of the Tom Peron/Bud Spangler Quartet is that there is still plenty of life to be found in straight-ahead jazz" - Scott Yanow for the Interplay album - 1994
"I clearly remember the first time I heard Tom Peron play. It was eight years ago, and he was twenty years old, playing in a local Sacramento restaurant. I was transfixed. His playing was so dear, and precise, and, most characteristically, soulful. What a treat that evening of music was for me. Since then I have enjoyed watching this fine musician home his skills with a busy regime of live performances and constant practice sessions. Indeed, he has grown. And growth has enabled him to deliver as he does, straight from the heart." Tim Merritt-Executive Producer for the Stretch album 1986
"I guess that is the ultimate goal of music, to reveal that which is most precious to us all. This album is dedicated to Tom's cousin, "Stretch," who recently died at the age of 21. He is connected to family and friends in such a vital and spirited sense that it flows naturally through his music. Indeed, his sound is nothing less than a priceless revelation of soul. Check him out. Tom Peron is a monstercat!" Tim Merritt-Executive Producer for the Stretch album 1986
