Riffing on the title of Byron Thomas’ consistently splendid, wildly engaging debut album, the veteran composer/keyboardist may feel he’s still UNDER CONSTRUCTION, but Smooth Jazz fans will immediately welcome him as a fully realized visionary artist, committed to picture perfect urban vibing melodies, poppin’ improvisations, exquisite balladry and R&B crossover collabs with vocalists C. Lafaye and Dierdre Gaddis. Cleverly nicknamed “morfingarz,” his richly textured emerging solo artistry is an outgrowth of his many years as an MD for musicals and his home church in Montgomery, AL. The educator and clinician is also a touring keyboardist with gospel great Tramaine Hawkins.
