Hi, My last post has nothing to do with this group. It was meant for stretch fusion.

January 18, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - This is an excerpt from jazz singer Harvey Thompson's biography. Harvey shared this with me while writing his biography and so I decided to put a clip up of The "Fabulous" Jo Thompson singing a tribute to Lena Horne. Here is the excerpt from Harvey's book: "One of Harvey's most intimate and memorable experiences came during a trip to New York to visit his brother Johnny and attend to personal matters. After spending an evening at Dizzy's Club with Johnny, sharing a bottle of wine and taking in the show, Harvey traveled by bus to the suburbs the next day to visit Jo Thompson at the nursing home where she was living. When he arrived and asked to see her, Jo came down to the lobby a short while later. They went over to the piano, where Jo played and Harvey sang. He believes it was either "Our Love Is Here to Stay" or Nat King Cole's "Love," though he can't recall with certainty. If it was "Our Love Is Here to Stay," there was a genuine intimate moment shared between them: George Gershwin's final composition before his death in 1937, now shared between two friends. It was an unadorned, precious moment: Jo in casual clothes without makeup, Harvey beside her, two artists sharing music one last time. Harvey would be among the last to "perform" with Jo Thompson, the "female Bobby Short", mother, grandmother, and beloved musical legend, before her death in March 2021 from COVID-19 complications. Tragically, her brother, Dr. Walter Thompson, died of COVID-19 three months before she did."

I think Harvey has a great voice and should be more widely known. Thank you for the invitation to join the group.

January 15, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - During his years performing in Japan, Harvey frequently appeared at jazz venues and shows throughout Tokyo alongside leading Japanese jazz musicians, including pianist Hiroshi Tanaka and guitarist Masaki Mizuguchi. Harvey sings "Ain't Misbehavin" with jazz pianist Hiroshi Tanaka and guitarist Masaki 'Mimi' Mizuguchi at Hiroshi Tanaka's private studio here in Tokyo yesterday. Anyone watching these three perform together will simply find enormous joy listening to three talented musicians having a great time performing together. Friends of Harvey and jazz fans are encouraged to visit Hiroshi Tanaka's website to learn more about his musical career: Jazz Pianist Hiroshi Tanaka

January 12, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - This is Harvey Thompson's website that fans and friends of jazz can go to that is an archive of Harvey's singing career over the years from Detroit to Tokyo. There are images and videos available that people will find interesting to view. There should also be a schedule of Harvey's upcoming and planned shows over the next year. Harvey Thompson Jazz
