"Mr. Thames was one of the first people to inspire me to be a jazz musician! Being a great sax player himself gave me a first-hand look at how live music can change the mood of people and make them happy"

"If it weren't for Mr. Thames I probably would never have gotten into music. He has been a great inspiration to me and others. He taught me to never quit and that hard work beats natural talent".
