Hymns have always been an intricate part of the African American religious experience but they are for the most part rarely performed as written. The Black singer and the other musicians very often turn the music around adding soulful cadenzas and holding notes longer and giving the music an almost improvisational effect. It is with this soulful tradition that I wrote the Jazz hymns. The music is more than just jazz and hymns
