Mmm Nice, indeed, is a charming treat, rich with inventiveness
 that characterizes all the efforts of this 35 year-old Calfornian.
Thompson's kind of imaginative talent as conductor, composer,
and arranger is rare these days. Discarding the standard file of
musical clichés,Thompson has created a choral orchestra sound
he can justifiably call his own. It's a decidely jazz-influenced 
sound, too, which undoubtedly accounts for the rhythmic force 
so much a part of Thompson's composing and arranging.Most
important, theThompson sound is a vividly refreshing one.The
world of contemporary popular music can use more albums like
this one, the weary listeners tired of monotonous droning sounds 
and imitative orchestra chorus efforts, ought to be thankful for  
BobThompson's artistry.....
