Excellent pianist and accompagneteur swing musicians and mainstream it can be shown that recording also speak with relevance in the bop style. I have the original LP and I wanted to have the CD because it is easier to convey. In the notes of the LP it compares to Count Basie I do not see the relationship ties although they are in the same place. Basie is much eloquent and discreet as Thompson is talkative piano (but always interesting gossip of a listen)
