Thomas will fill the drum chair for this swinging Big Band under the direction of Jerry Tolson, featuring Chicago vocalist, Tammy McCann. Yes Mahalia is a fresh and soulful homage to Mahalia Jackson, which celebrates not just her signature tunes, but her life and contribution to the world community. Yes Mahalia!! is a synergy between Gospel and the sonic power of a Big Band, and it will raise your spirits!!
