The Peace

A mellow selection from 'A Jazz Vespers for Martin' held April 7, 2019 to commemorate the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The musicians include: Wilson Somers, piano; Leon Spencer, contrabass; Bryan Silberman, percussion; and featuring Stan Slotter on trumpet and Wes Morton on vibraphone. Performed and recorded at Church of the Advent, Kennett Square, PA From the composer: "A 16 bar blues, 'The Peace" is designed for Vibraphone and Jazz Piano Trio. It is a tune that will keep evolving. This composition is dedicated to my dear friend, The Reverend Canon Lloyd Casson, Rector Emeritus of St. Andrew's and St. Matthew's Church in Wilmington, Delaware. It is a church that transcends boundaries...or like Duke Ellington used to say about his music 'It is beyond boundaries'."
