This is the one that started me down the path toward arranging sacred jazz.  In 1998, burned out on corporate gigs, weddings and jazz clubs, I "quit" the music business. That’s when a visionary preacher asked me to arrange some hymns and spirituals in a jazz style. Many concerts and jazz worship services later, I recorded the results on a CD which remains a best-seller to this day.

Customer Comments
"Thank you for these wonderful arrangements! I play 3 of them so far at church." - Frank

"I was one of those who followed your link from Sojourners, fell in love with your music, and ordered a copy of "We Gather Together" which I have used in our last few services to rave reviews. Thank you for sharing your gift." - Gloria

"My church repertoire has been greatly enhanced by the perspective your music brings to the listener’s ear. Thank you for putting together such a wonderful collection of music as was your Volume II.   You not only are obviously talented and gifted, but your ability and desire to share with others is significant. Again, I appreciate your talent and your written music." - Drew

"In his unique, rhythmic style, Sowash transforms some of the best-loved hymns and spiritual songs of all time into nearly original selections for solo jazz piano. Chord symbols are included to encourage improvisation and ensemble arrangements." - Augsburg Fortress
