With a classical music education at the Royal College of Music, Thompson was nevertheless attracted to the world of jazz, joining Neil Ardley’s New Jazz Orchestra in the mid-‘60s, where she met Colosseum drummer Jon Hiseman, whom she married in 1967.
Thompson’s recordings have run the gamut from jazz-rock fusion and modern creative jazz to world and folk music and even modern classical, and she has also composed music for theater productions
