Over the past year bookended by the summer of 24 and 25 I have produced 3 vinyl records. The first is Jazz Organ; In Velvet with Chip Newotn on guitar and Andy Trexler on drums. The second is entitled ‘ Converstaion with Bill Evans’. It is a solo piano tribute album. The most recent, which arrived last week is a collection of 9 jazz tone poems played on piano and dedicated to my wife
percussionist Debbie Naves. I wrote the 9 pieces which are a nod to the 9 inhabited islands of the Azores from whence she hails.
These records are competively priced at $30. They are available at my gigs or at Beow's Books and Brews in Raleigh.. For more info contact via Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/tony.thompson.399826/ or text 919-816-7798
