She has taught & performed internationally in over 33 countries. As a 2003 graduate of Manhattan School of Music, she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Performance & Composition. The New York jazz scene inspired her and she Kim Thompson had many performances with Wallace Roney, Bobby Hutcherson, Mike Stern, Jason Moran, Kenny Barron & Rufus Reid. Her diverse career also includes work with her current boss – Beyonce Knowles, as well as Kanye West, George Michael and Richard Bona. Her popularity and percussion prowess has landed her endorsements from YAMAHA drums, ZILDJIAN cymbals, and VATER sticks. Of her spiritual approach to jazz Kim says ““Jazz music is just you being you, and you just loving life, and you loving God, and God loving you back.” Performing in Kim’s group is one of the rising jazz guitar stars – Mike Moreno. Originally from Houston, Texas, Mike began studying music at the Houston High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, a school that is renowned for its musical alumni, including Jason Moran, Robert Glasper & Beyonce. Mike moved to New York City, attending the New School University with the highest scholarship the school had ever given to a guitar player. While working in NYC he impressed many jazz luminaries and was hired Mike Moreno to play with the Joshua Redman Elastic Band, Nicholas Payton Quartet, Terence Blanchard Quintet, Greg Osby 4, Wynton Marsalis and the JALC Orchestra, Jeff “Tain” Watts Quintet, Kenny Garrett Quintet, and Ravi Coltrane Quartet. Mike has released his debut CD “BETWEEN THE LINES” on World Culture Music and more recently has recorded his follow up record for the renowned Jazz Label - Criss Cross Records. We hope that you all come out to hear this inventive and passionate jazz ensemble! 5 “Stuff We Like” is The Vibe’s music review column. Unlike typical columns that look at only new recordings and give both thumbs up or thumb down, we are instead taking a positive spin, sharing the stuff we really like and not wasting your time with stuff we don’t. We see all recordings through the history of jazz as game for the column. Over the coming months you’ll find reviews of all shapes and styles of jazz from all eras.
