Jay's It!!!!!

J. Thomas | Riverdale, Utah United States | 01/03/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

", "His fluidity and control impart a surface smoothness that could lull the casual listener into overlooking the daring of his improvisations."
Jay Thomas is a gentle man who's sly around the edges. Of muscular build, he adopts the forward thrust of a fighter when addressing his trumpet, but his music is seldom belligerent. With hooded eyes and a face that's generally a day removed from the visit of a razor, Jay's dreamy sexuality is in evidence physically as well as sonically. He never seems rushed, but he has an off-the-wall, deadpan sense of humor, which lends a subtle bite to his mellifluous playing."
