New gospel music from Kirk Whalum: Gospel According to Jazz  Chapter Three

Take a listen to the new installment of Kirk Whalum’s Gospel According To Jazz over at BET and if you like it be sure to purchase by clicking on the picture above. I think it’s great that BET lets you listen before you buy. You can also listen to Marvin Sapp’s newest gospel music CD this week before you purchase.

This chapter series has two discs and it comes 12 years after saxophonist and composer Kirk Whalum issued the first Gospel According to Jazz. It was recorded live at Reid Temple in Glenn Dale, MD, and George Duke and Lalah Hathaway are among the guests featured.One of the two bonus tracks features Bishop T.D. Jakes and his wife Serita on gospel song “You Are Everything”. Also, one of my favorite gospel songs, “God Has Smiled on Me” is also included. Yay!!
Ultimately, this is a set that appeals more to Whalum’s gospel fans than to his jazz fans, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of what s here. All the musical performances are top-notch and walk his wonderful trademark line between straight-ahead and contemporary jazz, urban gospel and R&B. This the finest chapter in the series yet.
