[edit] Life and career

Born in Princeton, Kentucky, Malachi Thompson moved to Chicago as a child and credits his interest in the trumpet to hearing Count Basie's band at the Regal Theatre.

Informed in 1989 that he suffered from T-cell lymphoma and had one year to live, Thompson claimed he was healed by radiation and reading about jazz. He died in Chicago, Illinois from lymphoma.
