Tom & His Free Mockingbirds return with a special Christmas release “The French 75 Blues from the One & Only” that brings a timeless jazz-infused sound back to the airwaves. The band’s latest festive offering is now playing on the A-List Playlist and is also featured as a special CHRISTMAS POWERPLAY at 5 PM Pacific USA time for the next month. Built on a swinging, jazz-driven groove and delivered with heartfelt, expressive vocals, the song radiates warmth and joy, capturing the spirit of the season while keeping listeners gently bopping throughout the holidays.

Led by songwriter and producer Tom, Tom & His Free Mockingbirds continue to shape a distinctive sound rooted in musical tradition and creative ambition. As the band’s founder and guiding force, Tom envisions the project evolving into a full-scale ensemble inspired by the grandeur of classic big bands such as Count Basie & His Orchestra. A prolific and detail-driven creator, he steers the group across multiple genres, with the band often gravitating toward blues and folk rock foundations.

This Christmas release forms part of the band’s ongoing commitment to the thematic series “Blues Gift from the One & Only,” a project dedicated to honoring the legacy of blues and jazz legends. This year’s contribution draws inspiration from the film One Battle After Another and reflects the rebellious, energetic dynamics of the modern world, balancing social reflection with an unmistakable sense of fun and momentum.
