From the captivating rhythmic 5/4 setting of "How Firm a Foundation" to the warm, plaintive harmonies emanating from "He Never Said a Mumbalin' Word," these wonderfully fresh settings are in an easily accessible variety of jazz styles, appropriate for worship, recital or simply private enjoyment. Written so that even the most "square," classically-trained pianist can sound as though the jazz style is innately comfortable, this collection will quickly become a welcome, refreshing approach to time-honored hymns and spirituals throughout the church year.
