"Center
Songs seeks to carve out a space for his own strong voice -- influence
meets invention. This album is rife with hooks that won't lose their
wonder."--Kellen Yamanaka, KKJZ, 2007 full

"His exclamatory way with the mallets brings lots of fireworks
to the instrument’s naturally mellow personality." - The
Village Voice, 2006
"Beckham's work has a sound all its own -- which is what jazz
is really about." Rhapsody.com,
2006
"Center Songs is well worth it. With terrific charts,
a great sound and an impressive performance by Tom Beckham and crew,
this is one entertaining album that succeeds in delivering a vibrant
musical statement." --ejazznews.com (March 2007)
"A fine composer,...Center Songs tilts agreeably, but never
topples."--Baltimore Magazine, 2007
