Richard Thompson is a Black/Scottish composer and pianist who writes exquisite and engaging art songs,piano and chamber music in a blended genre of classical music and jazz.... called "Third Stream Music"     

His recent chamber opera, The Mask in The Mirror based on the life and courtship of renown turn of century Black poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and feminist social progressive, Alice Ruth Moore is musically exquisite with elements that suggest late Samuel Barber, Paul Bowles and Ned Rorem

The interview begins with the composer's Jazz Vespers transcription of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and proceeds to insightful conversation with renown Classical Music radio host, Jim Svejda.
