SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD.  Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Tommy  Mays has been living in Atlanta since 1978.
While in college, he was a member of the symphonic orchestra (contra bass
clarinet) and the jazz ensemble (sax and flute).  He also found the time
to gig with some of Jacksonvilles’ top local funk and jazz bands. He has
showcased these talents in the US and abroad, performing with and sharing the
stage with such notables as The Temptations, Millie Jackson, The O’Jays, BB
King, Michael Henderson, Nina Simone, Archie Bell and the Drells, Issac Hayes,
Joe Simon, Bobby Blue Bland, Peaches and Herb, Johnny Taylor, The Brothers
Johnson, The Isley Brothers, Adlan Cruz,  Howard Hewitt, The Dells, Miles
Jaye, Reynaldo Rey, The Whispers, The Stylistics, and too many more to name in
a career that has spanned over 30 years.



Joining Tommy for the evening will be Atlanta’s own Jazz
Diva, Tommie Macon.
