The Thompson Egbo-Egbo Trio brings a fresh, compelling voice to the Canadian jazz scene — where elegance meets edge, and tradition dances with innovation. Led by acclaimed pianist and composer Thompson Egbo-Egbo, the trio features longtime collaborators Randall Hall on bass and Jeff Halischuk on drums. Together, they create a sound that’s both grounded and adventurous, blending deep grooves, rich harmonic textures, and improvisational fire.

A classically trained pianist with roots in both jazz and contemporary music, Egbo-Egbo is known for his storytelling approach to performance — inviting audiences into a musical world that is at once cinematic, soulful, and rhythmically alive. His original compositions and thoughtful reinterpretations of familiar tunes showcase the trio’s dynamic interplay and unique voice.

Regular performers on major stages and festivals across the country, the trio’s live sets at The Rex have become a Toronto staple — known for their emotional depth, spontaneity, and the kind of chemistry that can only come from years of playing together.

Whether reimagining a pop anthem or diving deep into original works, the Thompson Egbo-Egbo Trio offers a concert experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is joyful. Catch them live and discover a trio redefining what modern jazz can be.
