Tomas returned to Jacksonville to perform with his Trio from Dallas, TX, at Breezy Jazz House in San Marco. When asked about his experience in the Piano Competition, Tomas explained, “It was a challenge in many ways, being in a different city, competing with the other fabulous pianists before a packed house at the Florida Theater.” Jonsson performed Friday night with an intimate show of both solo and trio renditions of classic jazz standards and original compositions.
