Ste ve Thompson: Evidence Bag<br />
(STRBCD2015)<br />
Steve is of course well<br />
known locally for being part of<br />
the superb rhythm section at<br />
Smalls <strong>Jazz</strong> Club, but he has<br />
many other strings to his bow.<br />
For this CD he has<br />
gathered around him some<br />
like minded musicians: Tim<br />
Wells on B3 Hammond<br />
Organ, Preston Prince on drums,<br />
Dave Smith on guitar and Nick Higgins on<br />
tenor. Steve has written all the tunes on<br />
the CD and it was recorded in Hove<br />
Actually.<br />
Steve’s intention was to recreate the<br />
sounds of scores from film and television<br />
American cops shows of yesteryear and in<br />
that, he has certainly succeeded. Any one<br />
of these tunes could feature in that<br />
genre.<br />
A couple of the slower<br />
tempo tunes – Utopia &<br />
Jake are well imagined and<br />
beautifully played on<br />
Hammond, tenor & bass.<br />
Perhaps Steve could call<br />
on his screen writings skills to<br />
write some cop shows to go<br />
along with this highly successful CD.<br />
