About this product
When the late Jazz impresario and trailblazer Meghan Stabile first launched the Revivalist and Revive Da Live concert series in NYC, the goal was to bridge the gap between younger Hip-Hop audiences and traditional Jazz purists. Born from this vision in 2010 was the Revive Big Band, an inventive 20+ piece ensemble led by artistic director, trumpeter, and composer Igmar Thomas. Merging tradition with groundbreaking creativity since it's inception, the multi-generational band's world-class cadre of musicians unites for Like A Tree It Grows. As the Revive Big Band's official full-length debut, this album represents not only a 14-year timeline of the Revive collective's journey, but also a deeper tribute to the Black American Music lineage. It's a celebration of community that uses the timeless power of music to tell a story of cultural legacy, innovation, and artistic collaboration. From original compositions like InchR&PInch and InchThe ComingInch, to reinterpretations of classic records paying homage to musical legends (e.g. Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie, etc.) Like A Tree It Grows showcases Thomas' intricate arrangements that blend Jazz, Hip-Hop, Soul, and a range of genres from the lineage of Black American music. With guest features from Talib Kweli, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Terrace Martin, Jean Baylor, Bilal, and more, the album provides a bridge between past and future, inviting listeners to explore the roots of Black music while reimagining it's possibilities.

![Solas - For Love and Laughter - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5598f5d0-f3eb-4902-a784-8d95786e5944.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
For over a decade, Solas has been hailed as the leading Irish-American super group. Though line-up changes and experiments with style and technology, the band has pushed the boundaries of - but never strayed too far from - their Irish roots. Now, as Mairead Phelan, an exciting young singer from Kilkenny, steps up to lend her exquisite vocals to the existing line up of Seamus Egan, Winifred Horan, Mick McAuley and Eamon McElholm, the band heads into their second decade of playing tight, fiery Irish music with a new tour and a new CD, FOR LOVE & LAUGHTER.
Known for his high intensity improvised sets and precision adrenaline electronics, Tim Exile's work on Listening Tree is at once more varied, more focused and more prodigious the previous releases. Setting comfortably into the role of avant-garde pop star. Exile combines cosmic songwriting and flamboyant vocals with classic rave influences and rich, futuristic orchestrations. It is impossible to hear these selections and remain unmoved by the giant leaps taken in sound and style.
Thomas Strønen - InchRelationsInch. Musical messages from Oslo, New York, Basel and Lugano - recorded between 2018 and 2022 - are juxtaposed and recombined on an absorbing recording that features Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen solo and in a series of duets. With such partners as Craig Taborn, Chris Potter, Sinikka Langeland and Jorge Rossy, the musical frame of reference is very broad. Strønen offers a project that implies new threads of connectivity, new creative relationships. Produced by Manfred Eicher.
