Saxophonist Michael J Thomas, who became an instant contemporary urban jazz sensation when his single “Baby Coffee” stayed at #1 on the Billboard National Smooth Jazz Airplay and Smooth Jazz Songs charts in 2017/2018, has been on a momentous roll. “I’ll Never Love Again,” his explosive re-imagining of the Lady Gaga hit from “A Star is Born,” became his second #1 Billboard smash, dominating the smooth jazz airwaves throughout 2019. Thomas’ cleverly titled, silky light funk follow-up single “Sippin’ The Yak” hit #2 on the charts, remained in the Top 5 for nine weeks, and rounded out 2020 on Billboard’s Year-End Smooth Jazz Songs chart at #5. 'Yak' was co-produced by Thomas, three-time Grammy winner and legendary jazz executive Carl Griffin and keyboardist Trammell Starks (Peabo Bryson, Jennifer Holliday, Patti Labelle, The London Symphony Orchestra). Look out for Thomas' upcoming 5 song EP "Outside The Door" in 2022 mixed in Dolby Atmos Music.
