Gospel-infused jazz singer-songwriter Michele Thomas rounds up an A-list cast of Chicago musicians for her much-anticipated third album The Assumption which casts a light on topics of race, sexism and authority yet, ultimately, celebrates the beauty of life.

The daughter of a preacher, Chicago singer Michele Thomas brings an irresistible gospel-soul warmth to jazz. Michele’s performances, like her music itself, are deep and emotional - blending genres of jazz and soul together with elements of folk and using her voice and songwriting to stir something deeper within people.  These performances hearken back to the sensibility of Sarah Vaughan, the atmospheric arrangements of Cassandra Wilson and fervent lyricism of Bill Withers.

“Bold in concept and brilliant in execution, The Assumption finds co-producer Darren Scorza working with Michele Thomas to produce an album of originals and covers that dazzle from beginning to end.”~Preston Fraizer, Something Else Reviews | Best Jazz of 2022

"Chicago-based singer compels attention through her edgy and intense delivery of standards, lesser-known songs and originals”~Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal
