The Jazz Hymnal is the first of its kind in the publishing world and is the perfect addition to the library of church music. It offers the church musician a unique selection of songs, both original compositions and traditional hymnody in harmonically-enhanced jazz/pop arrangement that challenge both the players and the listeners beyond the usual diatonic realm. The look of the book and arrangements is very professional and will be appreciated when read by musicians. There are even suggestions about where to add improvised solos and some innovative ideas about congregational involvement. All of these tunes work well for both congregations and musicians. They have been tested with various congregations and musicians and have won the approval of both. Included are 51 songs written in several different formats that include jazz lead sheets, piano scoring, reduced conductor score, and even in some instances, full arrangements that include horn parts. The original compositions have lyrics and are easily learned by your congregations. In fact, the congregations love singing these songs, since they are fun and hip; they're always theologically sound and spiritually relevant to modern church themes. You will find beautiful new ballads and great new grooves such as hip-hop, reggae, samba and more. And your musicians will dig playing them. Also included with the Jazz Hymnal is a CD sampler of 12 recorded songs found in the hymnal. These songs can be found on "Listen, the Music of Sanctuary Jazz" and "The Call." $30.00
