	Sir Charles Thompson Biography - AOL Music
		The elegantly nicknamed Sir Charles was one of the few musicians associated with swing who was able to make a graceful, wholehearted transition to bop at the time the revolution was happening.
		Thompson's first instrument was the violin, but the piano beckoned when he was a teenager, and he started working with territory bands in the Midwest in the late 1930s.
		So thoroughly had Thompson absorbed the language and ethos of bop that he was able to write one of the quintessential classics of the idiom, "Robbins' Nest," which became a hit for Sir Charles' next employer, Illinois Jacquet, and inspired a haunting, pathbreaking Gil Evans arrangement for Claude Thornhill in 1947.

		Sir Charles Thompson recorded his most essential work in the 1940s, but the Count Basie-influenced pianist was still quite capable of excellence when the 21st century rolled around.
		Although Vanguard gives Coleman Hawkins co-billing on this 1999 reissue, the tenor titan is actually heard on only five of its12 John Hammond-produced selections (which were recorded in 1954, 1955 and 1956).
		In the 1950s, Thompson fluctuated between swing and bop, and For The Ears reflects his passion for both.

	Sir Charles Thompson
		As a 12-year-old in Colorado Springs, Thompson was already playing piano piano at private parties when Basie came to town with Bennie Moten's band, a group that would later form the nucleus of Basie's band after Moten's death.
		At 86, Thompson is one of the last remaining links between the Swing Era and Bebop, having cut his teeth on the earlier style and risen to prominence with the more modern one.
		Sir Charles discounts the idea that Hawkins was a musician who advanced with the times.

	Sir Charles Thompson "Robbins' Nest" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Sir Charles Thompson's August engagement at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago was an unexpected gift.
		Lloyd Sachs wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times "he showed off a nimble, neatly regimented, highly personal way of phrasing that honored the great `ticklers' of the ivories while remaining relevant to today." Thompson's trio is joined by Eric Schneider on tenor sax and Art Hoyle on trumpet for a few tracks on this live CD.
		Includes a wonderful rendition of Thompson's graceful composition "Robbins' Nest", still one of the most played tunes of that era.

		My enthusiasm for Sir Charles Thompson goes back many years to a time when my father first called my attention to his play on a 10 inch Vanguard.
		In 1984, I was surprised to see a solo LP released by Sackville Records, "Portrait Of A Piano," and just as pleased that Sir Charles still had great chops.
		I am tremendously indebted to my friends John Chadwick and Michael Steinman for having shared many notes and copies of Sir Charles' music that were absent from my collection.

		Pianist Sir Charles Thompson is best known for his historic 1945-47 Apollo recordings with Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon ("Takin' Off," available on Amazon), and his signature tune, "Robbins' Nest," has become a jazz standard.
		A mainstay of New York's dynamic 52nd Street scene in the '40s and '50s, Thompson recorded with Coleman Hawkins, Illinois Jacquet, Buck Clayton, Leo Parker, etc. This long-awaited homecoming, impeccably recorded live at Chicago's Jazz Showcase in 2000, features appearances by Eric Schneider and Art Hoyle.
		The best done by Thompson with more side men at JATP (I think).
