Music has always been a bridge to the spirit.
This show is a bridge to that part in all of us that seeks something shining, something positive.
“Jazz of the Soul” showcases the joyful side of jazz and soul music – the original American music that evolved out of the “happy sadness” of the blues.
“What a Wonderful World,” made famous by Louis Armstrong, is one of the most beautiful benedictions there is. We include it in our performance…as well as other well-known songs of beauty, love and unity: “Beauty in the World,” Macy Gray; “Grandmas Hands,” Bill Withers; “Our Love Is Here to Stay” by Ella Fitzgerald; “Accentuate the Positive,” Johnny Mercer, among many others (and audience requests).
We also take a fun moment with well- known church hymns like “We Gather Together” and “Risen Today” to show how they can resonate in r&b/jazz settings.
Gwen Hughes sings soul and jazz music: “And I’d love to have you sing along. We shine brighter together.”
Let’s make some music. Let’s build a bridge.
