E028 Thompson Egbo-Egbo

The insanely talented jazz pianist, Thompson Egbo-Egbo, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We talk about his new album, A New Standard, and the trio he is working with, the world of jazz music in 2018, as well as his favourite venues. Thompson tells us about his foundation that teaches composition to children in underprivileged neighbourhoods and why it is important to introduce young people to music. We also diverge into sports as we discuss the 2018 World Cup, why Lionel Messi scored the best goal of the tournament, and Thompson’s opinion on the controversial Leonard/DeRozan trade by the Toronto Raptors.
