Sunday Brunch at Port Chambly with Philippe Thomas  and  the Dean Nookadu Jazz Trio by four performing in a quintet set up. No words to describe this moment of pure joy playing with trumpet Philippe Thomas. Nothing to say but to encourage you  to come at Port Chambly and  listen  to Phillipe playing medium swing and ballads. So profound. So pure. So rich.

His musical ideas are always comprehensive and every single note is like an important part of  some kind of refine jewellery. Philippe showed us his genius with his easy going trumpet soloing. Now when the tempi goes fast like  lightning, Philippe’s trumpet is astonishing, unbelievable…. You won’t be disapointed if you wish to find virtuoso level performance here in Mauritius,  and this happening is at Port Chambly. Watch out people… Something big has just started .
