Richard “Cookie” Thomas performs outdoors Sunday, Aug.18 at the Bartlett Arboretum in Stamford.
— an announcement from Bartlett Arboretum
A versatile jazz vocalist in Stamford and an undiscovered treasure, Richard “Cookie” Thomas’ career began in Philadelphia in 1960 when he had the opportunity, at fourteen, to open for B.B. King.
Richard’s voice is especially suited to well-known classic standards. Richard draws his inspiration from the likes of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Johnny Hartman.
