Jazz Vespers @ 5 pm Dec. 20th.

Location: 619 Lexington Avenue at 54th Street New York, NY 10022

Join me with Fran McKendree, as we are hosted by Ike Sturm and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in NYC. We’ll bring our new new cd Sending You Light into this fifty year-old service and jam our prayers with some great players. Christmas may also break out. Ya nevuh no.

What to expect

Traditionally this liturgy is called Jazz Vespers, though from time to time communion is shared during a Jazz Mass. Whether it is Vespers or a Mass, there is time to light candles, to celebrate the glorious light of Christ in the midst of an otherwise dim world, to receive and offer prayers for healing and peace. A meaningful sermon is always preached and a great band always plays and leads the assembly in song. Everyone is invited to sing. Sometimes there is dancing.
