Twelve programmes

A weekly jazz programme hosted by David Brent Johnson (6) Sacred Blue, Jazz Goes to Church in the 1960s

The spirit of jazz sometimes moves in ways that might not be as mysterious as they first seem. In the 1960s a number of jazz artists wrote and performed music for religious settings, sometimes with controversial results. Jazz was still seen as music at its most worldly, but for composers such as Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams, it was a way of expressing their spiritual beliefs, and, for them and for others, a new creative path to explore in jazz (WFIU)
