David Danced Before the Lord - the title comes from a story in the second book of Samuel in the Old Testament (2 Samuel 6: 14-22). Duke Ellington used this passage as part of his Sacred Concerts utilizing an uptempo version of his 'classic' sacred ballad 'Come Sunday'. Building on Ellington's canon, I set my version as a Cuban-Latin jazz feel. This performance was part of a Jazz Vespers in 2014 at Episcopal Church of the Advent, Kennett Square, PA. The 'cool style' of Ed Kirkpatrick's alto saxophone is complemented by the extraordinary flute playing of Philadelphia's Trumpeter/Flautist Stan Slotter. This is on top of a very tight organic rhythmic feel by the exceptional talents of percussionists, Jonathan Whitney and Wes Morton. Once again, Bassist Peter Paulsen applies his bass playing to what is essential and with mastery.
