March 3, 2026 (Toyko, Japan) - Some years ago Harvey Thompson visited Detroit his hometown and was interviewed on Greg Dumore's show of Pulsebeat.tv and MildredGaddis' JazzJewels.tv located in Detroit. Harvey was in Detroit along with guitarist Masaaki Miziguchi to share their experiences living and performing in Tokyo.

February 24, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) Jazz vocalist Harvey Thompson singing this powerful song "Everything Must Change" a few years ago rings true with the thoughts and feelings of people who listen to this song.

From Harvey's book: "Perhaps no song captures the quiet burden Harvey carries quite like Billie Holiday's 'Good Morning Heartache.' In it, Holiday greets her suffering not with rage or despair, but with the weary familiarity of someone who has learned to 'set a place at the table for pain.' For Harvey, those words are not merely a song. They are a mirror. He sometimes has to admit he sits at the table of pain located in Japan. This book was first annotated sitting at a table in Harvey's small apartment in Tokyo. The depression that visits him does not always arrive with drama or announcement. It simply pulls up a chair, as it did for so many of the jazz giants he has spent his life honoring. And like Holiday, Harvey has never allowed that darkness to silence him. Instead, he has done what only the truly gifted can. He has taken it to the stage, turned it into something beautiful, and given it back to the world as music. This is something most fans of jazz don't realize when you begin examining the reality of the emotional burdens artists like Harvey carry."
