For the Beauty of the Earth Collection

Traditional sacred music exquisitely arranged in contemporary styles.

Bradley Sowash’s final release in the acclaimed trilogy of hymns and spirituals for solo jazz piano has a decidedly personal feel. Some of the selections emphasize nature such as Shall We Gather By the River, The Ash Grove, and the title cut, For the Beauty of the Earth. Others dig deeply into jazz traditions such as the blues inflected Go Down Moses or a striding This Little Light of Mine. Whatever the style, Sowash’s unique take on these timeless melodies both surprises and delights.
