LIVE MUSIC FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS
As bandleader and arranger of The Gil Thompson Trio , Gil has
appeared in numerous venues in the tri-state area, including the
Republican National Convention Dinner Cruise, an extended
engagement at Cape May’s prestigious Pelican Club, numerous
performances in Atlantic City, along with countless public, private, and
corporate engagements in the Philadelphia area, Delaware, and the
Southern New Jersey shore. Gil also appears in special solo
performances at wedding services and receptions, social functions,
local music festivals and senior care facilities. With a wide variety of
tunes, ranging in style from jazz classics and love songs to Latin dance
music, all performed with his own unique arrangements, Gil Thompson
has something to please an audience of mixed ages and musical tastes.
In performance, as soloist or with ensemble, Gil is equally comfortable
on acoustic piano or on his portable professional digital piano. His
portable instrument is very well suited for venues where no piano is
available or where space is at a premium. Gil is a seasoned full-time
performer with over 30 years of experience, and is also able to
function as Master of Ceremonies.
Gil Thompson has led a diverse musical career as a solo pianist,
arranger, teacher and bandleader with ensembles of various styles
including traditional jazz, contemporary jazz, Top 40, R&B, and Latin
music. Gil began studying classical piano at the age of 4. He attended
Rowan University where he studied music education, classical piano
performance with internationally renowned pianist Veda Zuponcic, and
jazz performance with prominent jazz musicians Denis DiBlasio, Ron
Thomas, and Gerald Price. Gil’s pianistic style is a blend of his classical
and jazz training with his current interests in Latin and Caribbean
music.
