The Gospel According to Jazz, Chapter III

Kirk Whalum has really captured the essence of a creative musician with a godly heart! I am moved by a man that deeply loves the Lord and can see God in everything! The more we follow after God, the more we see his handiwork. I have all three of Kirk's Gospel According to Jazz series and I am very impressed in the depth the this DVD shows. Kirk exposes his love for God and his people starting with the prayer at beginning, through his narrative of gospel music and how the common thread of music itself belong to God, and the inclusion of others that have a mind to uplift the name of the Lord. Along with one of the masters of the keyboard, George Duke, Lalah Hathaway, and Whalum klan (lol), and others, you cannot but have a spiritual experience as these men of God display a transparency that make you feel and touch the Master of All! Thank you Lord and thank you Kirk for allowing God to use you in this wonderful way. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone that understands the no matter what the genre, God can be displayed because of the vessel.

wonderful music, I do wish the production value of the video was better.

I have to start out by saying the music is great. Even more important, there are many facets to this performance/documentary that touch the depth of the heart and soul with an understanding that ties everything together to give God the glory. God speaks here. Kirk Whalum does an excellent job of explaining to break down walls of misconception and limitations in a natural, easy going and loving manner. I'm in awe of the talent in this family as well as all the other musicians. I continue to play it over and over again, loving it so much I bought the DVD to watch at home and the CD to play in the car!I can't say enough good here, and hope there will be another performance and or recording in the future by this family that I can get my hands on! :)

Love the jazz, but the other is to satisfy those in attendance whom are not jazz fans, apparently. Not as good as Chapter II, in my opinion.

If you're a fan of Kirk Whalum you'll love this DVD in concert. Stellar performances by some of the best A LIst Jazz musicians interpreting gospel music in a modern Jazz concept.. Brilliant!

Such a wonderful recording (My actual rating is 4.9).My only diappointment is, I wanted to see more of the things I heard on the audio cd that are not part of the DVD. Some of the interludes, intros and personal engagements on the cd were missing (I.e. those involving Uncle Peanut). The DVD however does have Kirk up close spitting knowledge relevant to music and social history.The music entertains you, while the Whalums display a cohesive and talented FAMILY....something loved by The Almighty God.

Awesome Brother, Great Music. Great quality.

Awesome!

This is an excellent DVD, showed that Jazz can be played by Christians, prayer before he started the concert, dedicating the show to the Almighty. Brought his son, brother, nephew and Uncle 'Peanut' Whallum to improvise. He proved that music was transferred to him by his uncle while he taught the rest of his family this great skill. The music was well organised and the stage show including improvisation soothes the requirement of the audience. It is a must get DVD for all practising Christian Jazz lovers and other Jazz lovers who recognised the presence of the Creator.

kirk whalum the gospel according to jazz was a easy to listen to and watch dvd good site and price

disco meraviglioso ,artisti di classe estrema del mondo del jazz mondiale come kirk whalum e george duke e la voce di lala hartway fanno di questo disco un capolavoro di bravura e di improvvisazione che pochi sanno trasmettere, non si puo non avere nella propria biblioteca musicale un disco così bello.

J'aime cet artiste, j'aime son approche de jeu de saxophone qui est très mélodieux, ton intégrité, et sa liberté de parler de sa foi. Il a fait ce DVD après que la maison de disque n'a pas voulu renouveler son contrat. Ne sachant pas trop comment s'orienter, sa femme lui a posé la question : "Que pourrais-tu faire maintenant, que tu ne pouvais pas quand tu étais encore sous contrat?"La réponse était de faire de la musique avec sa famille. Et c'est ce qu'il a fait. Sur ce DVD plusieurs membres de sa famille (fils, frère etc) interviennent, et ce sont d'excellent musiciens.Le DVD est très jazz, un peu soul pour des titres chantés. Kirk Whalum y raconte aussi un peu son parcours et sa vision sur sa carrière de musicien jazz et sa vie de chrétien, qui sont intimement liées.

posiblemente sea menos espiritual que el anterior, pero son unos muy buenos musicos, con un Kirk lleno de sensnterior, pero son unos muy buenos musicos, con un Kirk lleno de sensibilidad
