Gary Thomas, accompanied by his jazz quartet The Tom-Toms, shares his love of the repertoire of Frank Sinatra with audiences all over Chicago and the Chicago metro area. Gary Thomas and the Tom-Toms take entertaining audiences seriously, and have fun doing it. Gary Thomas and the Tom-Toms released their debut album "First, Last, and Forever" in March, 2023, and it is available in iTunes, Spotify and all major streaming platforms.
Gary's approach is fresh because he always goes where the music takes him. "I've come to realize that the way to get inside Frank Sinatra, is not to imitate him, his sound, or his style, but rather to get inside his songs and repertoire. That's where you'll find Sinatra and that's how, even if you're a tribute artist, you will still indeed be an artist. "
