A Full-Week of Videos on a Theme

Charlie Haden and Hank Jones

Spiritual

From one of the all-time amazing albums, this Charlie Haden piece with Hank Jones brings a week of spiritual videos to a close. I hope they moved you.

Another "Theme" Song

Hubert Laws

Amazing Grace

One of the most powerful and meditative versions of this classic. Day six of seven on a spiritual theme.

Day 5 of a Theme

John Coltrane

Dear Lord

Considered by many the most "spiritual" of all jazz masters of any time or place. Coltrane. Day five of seven on a spiritual theme.

Four Days in a Row

Horace Silver, 1955

The Preacher

A non-trumpet player, but a great trumpet part. I keep wondering about this becoming my jazz theme song? Day four of seven on a spiritual theme.

Still Got the Theme for the Week

Doc Severinsen, 1966

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

How could I not have Doc Severinsen in a series of spiritual jazz pieces? Day three of seven.

Staying With a Theme

Maynard Ferguson

Gospel John

When I posted yesterday's video of a fantastic Freddie Hubbard song, The Gospel Truth, I wasn't planning on making it a series. But, hey, if the Spirit moves you, go with it. Just call it a "Spiritual Theme."

Music for a Monday

Freddie Hubbard, 1973

The Gospel Truth

Couldn't say it better with words!
