The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction-Arts and Culture ECPA Top
Shelf Award Winner For practitioners and fans, jazz expresses the
deepest meanings of life. Its rich history and its distinctive
elements like improvisation and syncopation unite to create an
unrepeatable and inexpressible aesthetic experience. But for
others, jazz is an enigma. Might jazz be better appreciated and
understood in relation to the Christian faith? In this volume,
theologian and jazz pianist William Edgar argues that the music of
jazz cannot be properly understood apart from the Christian gospel,
which like jazz moves from deep lament to inextinguishable joy. By
tracing the development of jazz, placing it within the context of
the African American experience, and exploring the work of jazz
musicians like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella
Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Edgar argues that jazz deeply
resonates with the hope that is ultimately found in the good news
of Jesus Christ. Grab a table. The show is about to begin.
