Known for “state-of-the-art jazz” (Jazziz), pianist Isaiah J. Thompson is “a young musician and composer with a mature touch and rare combination of talent, creativity, humility and honesty,” says NPR. Isaiah J. Thompson’s recording debut was on Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Handful of Keys album with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, and he has since released multiple recordings as a leader, including his most recent, A Guaraldi Holiday.
“Thompson’s star is certainly in the ascendant. He is a compelling composer and a powerhouse performer…one of the leading pianists of his generation” — All About Jazz
