"Little Bossa" was composed by DC artist Buck Hill.
Some of our friends, Raice McLeod (d) & Brannock Reilly (s), got to play with Buck before he passed on 3/20/17. |
"You know what I love about your band? You guys aren't in-your-face loud. I can actually have a conversation while you're playing,"
audience member's comment. |

Short BioThe Thomas Kitchen + Friends Jazz Ensemble is a group of enthusiastic jazz musicians who live in the metropolitan area. As jazz artists and aficionados, the group loves to swing. It's not uncommon to hear a sprinkling of Latin rhythms, or some tight BeBop phrases, but the quartet always keeps it in the groove. Whether you’re enjoying a meal, relaxing with a drink, or chatting with some friends, the quartet creates the perfect ambiance and lets you relax and enjoy the experience. Please click on the tabs above for demos, reviews, upcoming performances (gigs), and information about hiring the band.
Thomas Kitchen also plays with the Capitol Lab Band, a full 18-piece Big Band in the "modern" style, playing mostly original compositions and other high-energy charts by some of the top composers, artists, and arrangers today. Thomas also plays with the Ian Dylan Trio, and the Not 2 Cool Jazz Trio, and works as a sideman in various ensembles as needed. 2018 Performances
