Chris Thomson trio includes brothers Thomson on woodwinds, Chris bates on bass and JT Bates on drums. After studying at Lawrence University and the University of Minnesota, Chris toured the United States, Canada, Caribbean, and Japan with the Glenn Miller Orchestra for just over a year. 
Since returning to Minneapolis, the past 5 years have been dedicated to performing with and developing original music projects such as Afrobeat band Yawo and Les Fils Attivon; working with jazz groups Spirit of Chanhassen, Enormous Quartet, and Kelly Rossum Quintet. Of late, Thomson’s main projects include a collaboration with Tim Glenn and three modern dancers, a commission by the Jerome Foundation to compose a piece for the JazzIsNow Orchestra.
