Igmar Thomas’ Revive Big Band - Like A Tree It Grows (2024)

The album concept, titled "Like A Tree It Grows," symbolizes the family tree of Black American music, showcasing its unity. It also chronicles Revive's journey as a band and company, inspired by the music we present. The story of Meghan Stabile and our partnership, both professional and personal, is intricately woven into this project. Writing for a large ensemble is challenging, but the process, partnerships, and rewarding experiences made creating this album essential. Validation from collaborations with childhood heroes and performing for thousands reinforces our musical direction, bringing our vision to life.
