Thomas Jones Jr.
Thomas Jones Jr. has successfully made the transition
from shooting jumpers and making moves in the paint to making moves in
the world of music. With influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton
and Rev. James Payton, he is bound to make his mark in more than one
way.
Thomas began playing the bass guitar at age 8 and by age 12 he had
assembled a 12 piece band and had become fluent in lead guitar, bass
guitar, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitar as well as drums. The
amazing part about it is that Thomas is self-taught. Having been born
into a musical family with a father who was a jazz singer and an aunt
who was also an entertainer, it was only a matter of time before the bug
would bite Thomas.
Thomas' talent goes beyond what he is capable of doing with his music.
He was once a much sought after basketball player who received offers
from many big-time collegiate programs including Georgia Tech,
Tennessee, Morris Brown College and Morehouse College. He became an NBA
pro prospect. Whenever he was not on the court, he was hanging out with
musicians. Many of those same musicians such as Larry Blackmon and
others from the group Cameo became lifelong friends as well as fans of
his music.
A knee injury ended his basketball career but opened the door for Thomas
to pursue his passion for music. The composer, producer, writer, and
above all, entertainer started his own label, "Above Records
Entertainment" in order to help other struggling artists. Thomas remains
guided by strong Christian beliefs which are evident in his everyday
walk. While there are many talented people in the world, few have the
total package. Thomas is well-rounded in his musical abilities, soulful
qualities, technical ingenuity, spiritual beliefs, and his ability to
bring out the PURITY of music.
His first CD entitled "You're The One For Me" (2005) received rave
reviews across the country. Thomas has plans to expand his label and
help other artists. Thomas has also enjoyed a successful business
relationship with Muzak Corporation, which provides music for doctor's
offices, grocery stores, elevators, Gap and even McDonalds.
When not in the studio, performing, or composing, Thomas can be found
teaching guitar lessons, reading the bible, exercising or enjoying his
favorite lasagna or peach pie or spending time with his wife of three
years, Connie.
In September of 2007 Thomas established "The Thomas Jones Smooth Jazz
Hour Radio Show. The show plays the BEST INDIE Jazz, Neo-Jazz, Neo-Soul,
Standard Jazz, and Poetry from local and indie artist. It was
moved to BlogTalklradio.com and RadioFreeDaytona.com shortly thereafter
and is currently in Syndication. He later went on to create "The
Thomas Jones Smooth Jazz Hour Video Show" which features the same
talents in a television format and consists of interviews, movie, and
book reviews. Currently, Thomas has formed an alliance between Above
Records Entertainment and JaThom Records so as to en-strengthen the
capabilities of indie artists getting their music heard. "There is a
form of healing in music. It relaxes you and brings peace of mind to
everyone who listens to it. This is on another level," Thomas stated.
JaThom Records is proud and privileged to present the latest project from Thomas Jones Jr. entitled "Looking Up" for your listening pleasure.
