David Nathan from Billboard and Blues & Soul, writes about Thelma Jones:
“There are good performers, great performers…and then there are a tiny select few who can sing one single word and have an audience on their feet!
When my friend THELMA JONES performed at a tribute to Phyllis Hyman in 2004 that I co-produced, she simply sang the word ‘Maybe…’ as she started into an unbelievable version of the standard “Here’s That Rainy Day” and she had the entire place standing! Thelma Jones is a magnificent blues and soul stylist… …an evening of real heartfelt music…her version of “Saved by the Blues” is an instant classic!”
A little about Renaissance:
Recognized as Los Angeles ‘ premiere A Capella vocal group, RENAISSANCE takes their audience on a nostalgic, musical journey; singing songs of joy, hope, love and redemption. Their repertoire consists of creative covers of some of the legends of Doo Wop and Soul Music including The Drifters, The Moonglows, Sam Cooke, The Orioles, Clyde McPhatter, The Temptations, Pookie Hudson and the Spaniels, and so many more. They are dedicated to keeping the art form of street corner Doo Wop, alive with their own, original delivery!

I think Africamix should start holding it festivals twice a year, in the spring and summer.
