American Jazz pianist Isaiah J. Thompson announced his first live album “The Power of the Spirit” would be released on March 17, 2023 via Blue Engine Records.

The album comprises 9-track, featuring guest appearances from Julian Lee (tenor saxophone), Philip Norris (bass), TJ Reddick (drums), and Domo Branch (drums).
He recorded the album at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club.
From the album, he released the first single called “The IT Department” on January 27, 2023.
The song was written by Isaiah J. Thompson, Julian Lee, TJ Reddick and Philip Norris.
It is a play on his initials, but also a tribute to Isaiah's father.
Isaiah J. Thompson said, “I don't come from a particularly musical family, but they have always supported me. When someone would ask my parents if they had been involved in my musical education, my father would respond by saying, 'music is his department.'”
