About Me

"All in all, Mr Thomas seems to have no fear. Its intelligent, casual, a little nuts and completely entertaining" - by Ben Ratliff, New York Times (6/4/06)____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ________________ "Recently released Volume 2 of his Dirty Draws series; a collection marked by his wry sense of humor and restless sense of musical exploration" - by Egie Ighile, Objectiff Magazine (3/28/07)___________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________________ "Versitile and talanted, he [Leron] brings trumpet, vocal, songwriting and beat-making skills together on tunes from jazz to soul to blues.." - by Ennio Styles, straightup.com.au (3RRR FM) Melbourne, Australia (6/17/07) ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ________ "Leron Thomas is a young jazz trumpeter from Houston, with chops and power. He has rethought his music lately changing his band and adding rhythmic and harmonic complexities" - by Ben Ratliff, New York Times (10/8/04)___________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________________ "What first caught my attention was Tiombe Lockhart on the bill as well as Antibalas trumpter Eric Biondo's side band Beyondo, but after hearing Leron Thomas, he may be the name to keep a heads up for tonight. Houston native Thomas has a really innovative sound that sounds like a crossblend of jazz with indie rock…really worth giving a listen" - by deadlymelody.com (2/1/08)
