Craig Thomson is a fantastic saxophonist with a muscular, rich sound and exciting, blues-drenched ideas. Also, he is one of Canada’s best music educators. I am proud to count him among my friends.

The music community of the Okanagan Valley is extremely fortunate to have Craig Thomson to call their own. Craig has not only augmented the already high level of musicianship that has existed there but he continues to produce very fine contributors to the community through the wisdom of his gifted teaching abilities, particularly of the improvised music, or Jazz art form.
