such as Archie Shepp, Yusef Lateef and Marion Brown. He spent years residing, performing, and recording music with other artists in Paris. 
Since 1996 he has been a member of the Archie Shepp Quartet. 
McClung's album Burning Bright is a a trio set, where he is joined by bassist Matyas Szandai and drummer Mourad Benhammou. 
Ten of the album's eleven tracks are originals, in which the listener can hear echoes of Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and John Coltrane.

Tom McClung's piano style displays a broad spectrum of musical and emotional colors. Whether playing blistering bebop, 
sizzling salsa, down-home blues, pastoral folk or avant-garde, McClung's expressive touch and vivid imagination present a unique 
and exciting musical experience for all who listen. Born in New York in 1957 and later moving to western Massachusetts,

Visiting artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Aaron Neville, James Cotton and Bo Diddley would call on McClung when they were in town. 
As word of McClung's talent started to spread, musical luminaries such as Marion Brown, Yusef Lateef, and Archie Shepp began to take notice 
and employed him for concerts, tours and recordings. Soon he was on the international stage, playing festivals and concerts 
in Europe, Australia, South America, and throughout the United States.
Tom McClung presented in 2015 his new album on fellow ex-pat Archie Shepp's label, Archieball.
