Charles Thomas has been laying down his soulful jazz and R&B for decades, even if he did have to drive a Muni bus for years to keep the rent paid — not the first professional musician with a day job! Still, those party bands like Pride & Joy can augment a working man’s pay quite nicely, and that always made it a treat when he could find time in his schedule with them to do some bebop quartet work on the Bird & Beckett stage. It’ll be a good time when Charles brings a quartet tonight!
