About
Oluyemi Thomas moved to Oakland from his native Detroit in 1974. He is a master of many instruments, with a particular predilection for the bass clarinet, C melody saxophone, and musette.

Thomas brings to his music a deep spirituality rooted in his Baha’i faith. He is interested in music and instruments from all over the world and often incorporates scales and sounds not often encountered in Western music....
