The Three Mo’ Tenors have been re-christened Cook, Dixon and Young, effective immediately. Largely considered by many to be the Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras of the African-American community, Cook, Dixon and Young have over 40 years combined experience, and have appeared in major concert halls and opera houses around the world. In 2001, the trio released a self-titled disc via RCA Records. According to a spokesperson, the name change was imperative–preceded by a series of events that shocked and angered the group. The tenors discovered that one of their former producers, Brenda Trawick, and her booking agency, Trawick Artists, were allegedly collecting deposits for engagements they had not been made aware of. In what seems like some 1970’s music industry name-trademark drama, the group discovered that Trawick, along with the other former producers, Marion J. Caffey and Willet Klausner, were allegedly planning to franchise the name, Three Mo’ Tenors. Along with the new name, comes a new and improved show (featuring new repertoire, choreography, and a new look), and new management, CD Enterprises, Inc.
Update: Please check the Fred Hughes Tour Schedule for information on Cook, Dixon, & Young’s upcoming performances including their 07/24/04 concert at Millennium Park in Chicago.
I’d like to get in line to book TMT (Cook, Dixon & Young). Could you provide me the website or e-mail address or telephone number of their agent.
Thank you.
Please provide me the contact information for TMT’s agent. An e-mail address, web site or telephone number would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Does anyone know when and where Cook, Dixon and Young are appearing in Atlanta? Public TV (either channel 8 or 30) was giving away concert tickets last night, but they did not say where the concert would take place.
Your best bet would probably be to call the stations and see what they can tell you. Also, see the other CD&Y posting for a suggestion on how to try to get tour information about these gentlemen.
I also have been trying to identify the date for their performance in Atlanta…
At some point, I was given the date of Oct 20 at the FOX, however in contacting them, I’ve been told that they are not scheduled for a performance in Atlanta ?
I would be grateful for any further information that can be obtained about a performance in Atlanta, or near Atlanta…
Thanks
check with your PBS Station! I am sure it’ll be up on the website soon as well – http://www.cookdixonandyoung.com – a tour is in the works so just keep emailing their management to get that website up and running with info!
FYI – Cook Dixon & Young Volume 1 has hit the Billboard charts!! 25 on the Jazz Charts and 12 on the Crossover Charts! Congratulations!!! It only goes up from here!
Has the C D & Y CD been released and if so can someone tell me where to purchase it? thanx!
Can be had on either Amazon or Barnes and Noble websites

I saw the PBS special on Cook, Dixon, and Young. Boy, boy, boy! This is different from the 3 mo tenors DVD that I totally went crazy over, but it is so good until I repeatdely play it over and over. Cook, Dixon and Young are the bomb! Please continue and come to Florida, preferably, West Palm Beach. We love these guys.
I had the great pleasure to see TMT in Jacksonville, Florida. What an awesome night, filled with fun, craftsmanship, style, music, music, and “Mo” music. I am so looking foward to seeing them again. I hear Cook, Dixon & Young’s new work is amazing. Any info on a Jacksonville date would surely be appreciated.
I had the pleasure of seeing TMT in Jacksonville, Florida, what an awesome show. We were treated to style, craftsmanship, talent music, music, and “Mo” misic. I am so excited about these three men being able to continue to do what they seem to love…entertaining. I loved the former name “Three Mo Tenors” the world didn’t seem ready for them but these guys brought so much style and class to their act that they made the world stand up and not ony listen but accept them as outstanding entertainers.Look out world… again here comes “Cook, Dixon and Young” I for one will be forever ready. If anyone have any information on the next Jacksonville date I would appreciate it.
From what I understand, a tour for Cook Dixon & Young is being constructed. Keep watching for it online! Also their website is in the works – http://www.cookdixonandyoung.com – email their management and encourage them to put SOMETHING up on that website SOON! Maybe if they hear from us they will realize what a HUGE fanbase CD&Y has and get on this!

CD&Y at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. were MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys have such CLASS and SOPHISTICATION! They are true artists – technique, style and true ability to communicate! The combined years and experiences can’t be taken from them – they are truly unique and everyone who loves them and respects them wishes them ALL GOOD THINGS as they deserve. They certainly haven’t deserved all the heartache this business has dished out, but have proven they are greater than all of that and have an even better show than before and sound better than ever and WILL SUCCEED!!! BRAVI!
Is Robert Black still affiliated with trio?
yes he is
just thought you would like to know…Willette Klausner and Marion Caffey continue to keep Cook Dixon & Young in court. So much for wishing them well – they just don’t want them to sing! Unbelievable! What a horrid ordeal inflicted on these gifted men by these horrible horrible and evil people.
noticed that Thomas Young has a new website – up and running with interesting things to come! http://www.thomasyoungtenor.com
