Vince Lewis Quartet A Different Standard
This exciting new release is comprised of some of the best music ever
written. Vince has drawn from the classic hymns and placed them into a
contemporary jazz setting. Along with Tom Hildreth (bass) and Phil Riddle
(drums) the group has added Phil Thompson on woodwinds. Sure to satisfy
fans of the Vince Lewis Trio's previous music, this work will also expose
his audience to reverential treatments of meaningful and timeless Christian
favorites.
This collection is sure to bring back memories of singing these wonderful
hymns in church. Selections include, "Precious Lord Take My Hand," "In The
Garden" and "Worthy of Worship." Each tune is a celebration of the
original intent of the composer presented in mainstream jazz styles.
