Songs From Sunday Morning
Holy Mountain Music, is pleased to announce the release of Songs from Sunday Morning. Comprising ten tracks of well-known Christian hymns and spiritual songs and one original composition by bassist Bobby Bush, the album presents contemporary jazz arrangements of such familiar tunes as “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and “Amazing Grace.” Two additional tracks feature Marty McCall of the vocal trio First Call introducing the purpose of the CD, which is to infuse classic Christian songs with new life and inspire listeners to rekindle or deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.
The CD features solo performances by a number of distinguished artists including trumpeter Fletch Wiley, saxophonist Jaared and vocalist Carmen Calhoun. Most of the tracks are instrumental, with styles ranging from upbeat to contemplative to majestic in nature. They present performances of orchestral and electric instruments, in contrast to the heavy reliance on synthesizers so commonly found in recorded music today.
“I developed each arrangement with the intention of allowing the artistry of the musicians and their inspirational playing to generate the excitement and renewal of the song,” said Bush, the arranger and producer of the album. The arrangements of the songs present a variety of jazz interpretations built on the strength of each melody and the emotional content of familiar lyrics and refrains. “My hope is that the underlying joy in the music will reinforce the joy in its message.”
