5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sequel !!!!, March 27, 2010

This review is from: The Gospel According to Jazz, Chapter III (DVD)

If you are unaware to this musical series, Kirk Whalum, the host, has led 3 recordings projects under the banner Gospel According to Jazz. The first wasn't released to DVD. The 2nd installment was recorded in LA several years ago and released in 2002. This is the DVD sequel and 3rd installment. For me there are many highlights...special guests include George Duke (involved in all 3 Gospel projects), Layla Hathaway (vocalist), Doc Powell (extraordinary guitarist) and several of Kirk's relatives including his Uncle Hugh Whalum "Peanuts" (sax & vocals), his nephew, Kenneth Whalum III (sax) and Kirk's brother, Kevin Whalum (vocalist and involved in all 3 projects) and several others.

The DVD has many qualities which differ from the first DVD (GAJ2). In between segments from the live recording are snippets of commentary by Kirk offering his insights and objectives of his chosen musical format. Without running down each track and its highlights, know that you can find uptempo tunes, contemporary/traditional tunes, pop inspired tunes and above all "jazz" tunes. At last check, you can see the video commercial at [...] (check the video link).

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music - Jazz, June 2, 2010

Another well done arrangement by Kirk Whalum. A long awaited rendition I and II were fabulous and III has held up to the quality. Whalum's musical talents and his spiritual foundation continues to shine through with these renditions. He continues to please with his talented family and other incredible musicians participating on these ventures. No need to ponder over this or his other two "The Gospel According to Jazz," productions. No disappointments here.
