Don Thompson Quartet

Don Thompson, OC (born January 18, 1940) is a Canadian jazz musician who plays bass, piano, drums, and vibes. Don has been a fixture on the Toronto jazz scene since the late 1960s when he moved there from his native British Columbia. Thompson played for a long time in Rob McConnell's Boss Brass. Don formed part of the Toronto Quartet of Paul Desmond during the mid seventies, and that effort produced two stellar albums. Other personnel on those dates, mostly at Burbon Street in Toronto, were Toronto musicians Ed Bickert and Jerry Fuller.
