Seattle native Thomas is a versatile multi-instrumentalist (trumpet, flugelhorn, alto, tenor, soprano and flutes) as well as an educator—he is an adjunct professor at Cornish College of the Arts, tutors students in improvisation at the renowned Garfield High School and teaches at prominent jazz camps. Thomas has played with so many great musicians over the years…he is currently a member of SRJO in Seattle, as well as one of Japan’s leading big bands, CUG (Continued in the Underground Jazz Orchestra), and co-leads a sextet with Kohama Yasuhiro and Atsushi Ikeda. “Jay has a sound characterized by warmth, lyricism and rhythmic drive….and he’s funky!” -jaythomasjazz.com
