"Jazzed" In The Church" series was born out of many jazz concerts done in a church setting by Pianist/Composer David Arivett,  the vocal group Fresh Fire,  Saxophonist Larry Cangelosi, a full horn and rhythm section with many Christian jazzers from Northwest Arkansas.

These concerts all had a thematic flow, with power point presentations and narrations, quotes, ect. that helped underscore the theme of the evening. By using both instrumental selections and vocals we were able to provide more variety in our concerts. We also encouraged audience involvement and had them sing along on a couple! There are up tempo swing, Latin, funk, and contemporary jazz. There are also slower ballads for quiet times.

These songs have proven themselves to be very effective both lyrically and musically for use in a church setting, vespers, or concert. Pianist/Composer David Arivett has written and/or arranged all the songs on this page. All piano parts have been fully transcribed note for note! Or you can use lead sheets with the chords if you want. Split tracks and backing tracks to "play along" with are available as well here!
