Jazz pianist Bob Thompson has enjoyed a long and active career as a performer, composer, arranger, and teacher. For decades his quartet has played in West Virginia — and the world: the Blue Note in New York; Blues Alley in Washington D.C.; Newport Jazz festival in Saratoga, NY; and theaters and festivals in Europe, Africa, and South America.

In 2022, Bob appeared at the Kennedy Center, playing solo piano as part of “A Jazz Piano Christmas.” He has been a guest on NPR’s Piano Jazz and a regularly featured artist on WV Public Broadcasting’s syndicated radio show, Mountain Stage. For over 30 years, he has been co-producer and host of Joy to the World, a Holiday jazz show featuring Bob’s band and a special guest vocalist. In Oct- ober 2015, Bob Thompson was inducted into the WV Music Hall of Fame.
