LIVE MUSIC FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS
As bandleader and arranger of The Gil Thompson Trio and The
Gil Thompson Cuban Jazz Duo, 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.
