Born on Long Island New York, Tom started playing guitar at the
age of 10 after hearing Elvis, Buddy Holly and the Beatles and played in
rock bands throughout in teen years. After leaving high school, Tom
discovered jazz and moved to Tampa to attend the University of South
Florida's jazz program under Chuck Owen.
Upon graduation he became the guitarist and musical director for top
jazz singer Belinda Womack and was voted Tampa Bay's Best Jazz
Band in 1994. While with Belinda, Tom performed concerts with
legendary cornetist Nat Adderly and opened shows for numerous
national acts including Branford Marsalis, The Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra,
Herbie Mann, Oleta Adams and many others. After recording a CD in
1998, Tom joined R&B singer / national recording artist Kasai and
recorded his debut CD in 2000.
Currently, Tom leads his own Jazz / Funk group - TOM JEMMOTT BAND
and performs with the high energy 12 piece dance band Southtown
Fever . He is also a member of the modern jazz trio - THICK AS THIEVES
and continues a busy performance schedule as a freelance jazz,
classical and pop/rock guitarist as well as teaching privately at Don
Banks Music in south Tampa. Also an avid composer, Tom writes and
records music for film projects and music libraries.

Tom's musical inspiration comes from a variety of players and styles.
From the jazz sounds of Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Pat Metheny and
John Scofield to the rock sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Keith Urban and the
Beatles, Tom approaches his music with fire and passion.
