Born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, he moved to New York City in 1927, and played for a time with Jelly Roll Morton. He then joined The Missourians in 1929, just before Calloway took it over. Among his arrangements was Calloway's 1931 hit song, "Minnie the Moocher."
In 1943 he left Calloway's orchestra to work with Don Redman. He led a 1944 recording session with sideman including Coleman Hawkins, Hilton Jefferson, Eddie Barefield, and Jonah Jones; another session that year featured Ben Webster, Budd Johnson, and Emmett Berry.
During the mid 1940s he taught at a studio on 48th street; among his students was Jackie McLean. In the 1950s he became a manager and booking agent; he worked for the Shaw Artists Corporation and for a time one of his clients was the trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie.
Since the 1940s, he lived in Englewood, New Jersey, near his old friend Tyree Glenn, with whom he spent much time in retirement. He died on August 26, 1981 as a result of cancer.
Thomas was inducted into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in 1996.
