It's always great to welcome home one of our own. It is the nature of the beast that jazz musicians make the pilgrimmage to New York, no matter where they emanate from. In Thompson's case, witnessing her maturity and elevated status of her playing is a thrill. The interacion between her and pianist Goron, himself soon to journey to NYC to attend Juilliard, is something to keep an eye on. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
