Cute on Live Jazz at St. G's
Jazz Vespers emerges as a synthesis of traditions, a blending of an age old liturgy with the unique musical language we call jazz. With a freshness that is open to God's Spirit, this musical tradition sounds the hopes, dreams, joys, frustrations and pain that expresses human experience, while exploring a musical vocabulary that transcends the limits of the written or spoken word.
The Rev. Norm Freeman
Give praise with trumpets... give praise with lute and harp!
Give praise with timbral and dance... give praise with strings and reed!
Give praise with booming drums... give praise with crashing cymbals!
Let everything that breathes... praise the Beloved with their lives!... May it be so now and forever! Amen.
(Psalm 150 from Psalms for Praying, Nan C. Merrill)
