“So what’s the difference between ‘Jazz’ and ‘Sacred Jazz’?”
This is a question that often arises as we execute this Ministry. Jazz is dictionary defined as “…music marked by strong rhythm, distinctive harmony and improvisation…” . In describing the peculiar experience of Sacred Jazz Worship, Minister Warren Cooper explained “…In the quiet space of the Holy Spirit’s Musical Meditation, There Is Always A Connection To The Divine That Appears Where Nothing Previously Had Been.…A Brand New…Angle of View…That Reaches All The Way Into…Your Deepest Prayer. What makes the Jazz Sacred is the Worshipful Posture of the Player…approaching the music with a reverence found in the ritual(s) of the Old Testament Levite Priests…a passionate offering…burning as sweet smelling incense in the Presence of the Divine Creator and Lord of All… “
From both a Practical and a Practicum Perspective, Music Media Ministry can Introduce, Enhance and Exegete JAZZ into your Worship Portfolio. Spanning the capacity for Technical Training Sessions to Worship Service Design and Performance to Formal and Informal Concert Circumstances, we can show you New Dimensions Of Possibility in your musical experience.
