About / Biography

Grammy-winning saxophonist, composer, and arranger Michael Thomas has been an active member of the New York City jazz community since arriving in 2011. Holding degrees from the University of Miami, New England Conservatory, and The Juilliard School, Michael has performed throughout the United States and abroad, including tours in Central and South America, Europe, Japan, and Russia. He has appeared as a sideman with Brad Mehldau, Dafnis Prieto, Nicholas Payton, Miguel Zenón, Etienne Charles, and Jason Palmer, and Michael’s talents can be heard on over 30 recordings. According to the New York Times, Michael writes “energetic, tuneful music for both combos and large ensembles”, and All About Jazz describes his playing as “a particular revelation, as he provides superb, well-crafted solos”.

Having released three albums as a leader and two as a co-leader, Michael is comfortable in situations of every style and size as a jazz performer. The most common formats he provides for live music at events are as follows:

DUOS: saxophone with either keyboard, guitar, or bass

TRIOS: saxophone with keyboard and bass; saxophone with guitar and bass; saxophone with bass and drums

QUARTETS: saxophone with keyboard, bass, and drums; saxophone with guitar, bass, and drums

In any of the above formats, Michael can also play flute instead of (or in addition to) saxophone. Other ensembles (either larger or including specific instruments) can be discussed at the request of the client. Additionally, Michael can provide arrangements of specifically requested songs for a fee to be determined.
