Coming from a rich career as a jazz vibraphonist and composer, Ben Thomas found himself enthralled by the sounds and history of tango music, frst as a dancer and then as an avid student of the bandoneon 

Through his ffteen- year journey, Thomas took trips to Buenos Aires to hear & study with the masters, eventually fnding his own voice in the music and performing widely. With Eternal Aporia, Thomas presents the debut recording of his Tango trio with clarinetist Eric Likkel and bassist Steve Schermer, exploring tango through its encounters with new times and new infuences. Following the lead of some of the leaders of the current scene in Buenos Aires, such as Diego Schissi and Exequiel Mantega, Thomas builds his intricate pieces combining rhythmic intensity with lush harmonies, whimsy, and an emphasis on storytelling.-"Ben is a great composer, and an energetic performer who knows
how deep music can go." - Jovino Santos Neto

"Thomas' crisp and logical solos, technical alacrity and witty compositions have been a dependable pleasure" - Paul de Barros, Seattle Times
