February 8, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - As the biographer of jazz vocalist Harvey Thompson, I have decided to present some of the material I have tentatively wrote to describe Harvey Thompson's experiences over all these years. The most memorable was from his two visits to Glasgow during the Glasgow Jazz Festival during the mid-90s. Here is what I wrote using Billie Holliday's version of "Come Rain Or Shine" to set up the story. Be sure to listen to Billie Holliday sing while reading: "Recalling how many times over the years Harvey walked out of train stations, bus terminals and air terminals and taxis, he was often discouragingly met with heavy rains. After meeting Mady though, he suddenly took on an entirely different attitude towards rain. It wasn't about the inconvenience or drudgery walking in the rain this time. It was the romantic idea of being in Glasgow with this knockout woman he was now in a relationship with. He saw raindrops on the taxi, the type of car where the doors opened in opposite directions, with him opening the door of the taxi for Mady. Harvey was wearing a new overcoat he bought because of the constant foggy and misty rain Glasgow is so well known for. He came to appreciate rain rather than detesting it like in all of his previous experiences, much like the opposite sentiment expressed in 'Come Rain or Come Shine,' written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer for the 1946 musical St. Louis Woman. The song, which Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, and Frank Sinatra all delivered in stunning versions, like with Harvey's stunned senses being with this beautiful woman."

February 7, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - This is really a remarkable recording of jazz vocalist Harvey Thompson and Kathy Kosins singing "You Hit the Spot" written by Cole Porter in 1935. This was recorded a number of years ago in Detroit. I hope Harvey's jazz community on Skool can listen to this MP3 audio file because it is a really light hearted fun duet to listen to. Cathy Kosins still performs today. She has a long list of performances through 2023–2025 at jazz clubs, festivals, and arts centers across the US and internationally, including venues like BLU Jazz+ in Akron, Michigan and others.

February 4, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - Jazz vocalist Harvey Thompson sings "My Funny Valentine" with jazz pianist Hiroshi Tanaka and guitarist Masaki 'Mimi' Mizuguchi at Hiroshi Tanaka's private studio as we approach February 14th. We hope our growing community of jazz lovers will enjoy this dedication to "love." "My Funny Valentine" was composed by Rodgers and Hart for the 1937 musical Babes in Arms, transformed from a Broadway show tune into a beloved jazz standard recorded by hundreds of artists including Chet Baker, Miles Davis, and Billie Holiday and of course Harvey Thompson.

Hi, My last post has nothing to do with this group. It was meant for stretch fusion.

I have a payment pending for £14.95 for stretch fusion. I already bought my band, do what the heck is this for? I didn’t sign up for any subscription. I am so fed up with this kind of nonsense. I feel ripped off.
