Isaiah J. Thompson - The Power of the Spirit

Captured in front of a rapturous audience at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy’s Club, The Power of the Spirit finds Thompson’s seasoned quartet delivering a locked-in performance of their hard-bop repertoire. On full display are the pianist's stunning dexterity and soulful original material; combining crisp technicality with a gospel-inflected sound, Thompson nods to forebears like Bobby Timmons, Phineas Newborn Jr., and Cedar Walton while blazing a trail all his own.

Thompson has played with legends including Wynton Marsalis, Christian McBride, Steve Turre, John Pizzarelli, and Buster Williams; you've seen his Tiny Desk concert and heard him as a special guest on the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra's Handful of Keys. Now, get ready for the powerhouse personal statement that is The Power of the Spirit.
