Through music history, gospel has continued to meld with the times and has become a kettle of styles. It’s literally a musical gumbo where the syncopated intricacy of jazz, the unmistakable stride of ragtime, the playful improvisation of the blues and the harmonic vocabulary of soul together form an irresistible powerhouse. At the center of this marvelous mix of musical expressions, the piano has always played a pivotal role.

This collection hones in on the traditional side of gospel and provides a solid foundation for a broad approach to this monumental movement. Expect intoxicating hooks, smart passages and an outright uplifting joy and spirit throughout.
