Justin Thompson

Justin Thompson combines cool jazz vocals with hot swing guitar and timeless song writing. His smoky voice has been compared to Harry Connick Jr. and Sting, while his guitar playing echoes the virtuoso passion of Django Reinhardt and the swinging lyricism of Wes Montgomery. As a songwriter, he crafts beautiful ballads and clever up-tempo swing numbers that sound as if they were written fifty years earlier. But, Justin is more than a traditionalist. His latest compositions point to a new direction for jazz in popular music. He also has a sense of humor which is evident by the only cover song on his CD -- the Britney Spears mega hit -- "Baby One More Time", however, Justin is quick to add that he is NOT the "Weird Al" of jazz. There is no doubt that the critics take Justin seriously
