Presented by Jamie Foxx, Thunder Soul follows the extraordinary alumni from Houston's storied Kashmere High School Stage Band, who return home after 35 years to play a tribute concert for their beloved 92-year-old band leader, Conrad "Prof" Johnson. It was their charismatic "Prof" who broke the color barrier and transformed the school's struggling jazz band into a world-class funk powerhouse in the early 1970s. Some haven't played their instruments in decades, yet they are determined to put on a show to prove they still have what it takes, in an amazing testament to the power of music and teachers.
