History of Vectordisc Records

Vectordisc is the result of the combined efforts of musicians based in Chester County, Pennsylvania, just west of Philadelphia: Ron Thomas, Richard Burton and Glenn Ferracone.

All of our recordings are remarkably different from one another stylistically. We embrace both improvisation and formal composition.

Our first CD was released in 1998: violinist Kristin Garson's Music Under the Influence with Ron Thomas, Richard Burton, Glenn Ferracone, Ray Ferretti and Paul Klinefelter. The next recording, in 2001, was Ron Thomas’ Scenes from a Voyage to Arcturus with Richard Burton, Glenn Ferracone, Bob Meashey and Bob Howell.

In 2002, the Ron Thomas Quartet was featured on The House of Counted Days, featuring John Swana, Tony Marino and Joe Mullen. In 2006 two CDs were released: Ron Thomas’ 17 Solo Piano Improvisations and Richard Burton’s Simple Major/Simple Minor with Ron Thomas, Chico Huff and Glenn Ferracone. Also in 2006, Vectordisc picked up distribution of Mike Falcone's Playing Live with Ron Thomas, Paul Klinefelter, and Glenn Ferracone. In 2007, we released Cycles with Ron Thomas, John Swana and Joe Mullen, and Wings of the Morning: Solo Piano by Ron Thomas.
