First published in 1985, long out-of-print and now republished in a new edition, the life story of this swing era jazz trumpeter encompasses his experiences in the West India Regiment, his move to Britain in 1929, and performing in London clubs in the Blitz and the post-war years. Thompson worked with the most significant Black British swing musicians and his recollections are recorded in a fascinating narrative and a clear and readable style. From the same publisher, the story of a fellow-musician of Jamaican origin: Bass Lines A Life in Jazz by Coleridge Goode and Roger Cotterrell (ISBN: 978-0-953704-02-6 ).
