In the summer of 1995 Jump 4 Joy backed up New Orleans Lifetime Acheivement Award Winner and legendary vocalist Tommy Ridgley at the Stockholm All Star Jazz & Blues Festival. Tommys music fit right into the Joy Gumbo, and they rocked town for a week at club gigs as well as the festival.

Tommy passed away August 11-99 to our great sorrow. Tommy was not only a great singer, and a guy packed with entertaining stories from the days when his band backed every major artist in the US that passed through New Orleans.....he was a really nice guy as well!
