The Butch Thompson Trio
Well-known from a long run on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion with
Garrison Keillor, the Butch Thompson Trio has earned critical and popular
recognition around the world for its exuberant brand of classic jazz and
ragtime. The centerpiece is Thompson’s celebrated piano, but bassist,
Marty Eggers and drummer, Chris Tyle are masters of the subtle interplay
that is the hallmark of early jazz. Specializing in the ragtime music of
Scott Joplin, Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton and other early jazz heroes,
the Butch Thompson Trio shares the pure joy of music-making.

Westwind Brass
Ensemble in residence at the School of Music and Dance at San Diego State
University, the quintet’s unique arrangements have brought them world-wide
recognition. There is little in the musical lexicon that they cannot tackle
and perform well. Their concert will offer a kaleidoscopic set of styles and
composers, from the rich Baroque sonorities of Handel and Bach to the music
of other cultures to the jazz of Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk.
