Editorial Reviews

Beyond jazz, blues, or gospel as most know it, this is the powerful trombone shout band music of the legendary United House of Prayer for All People. While much public attention is lavished on brass band jazz of New Orleans, these remarkable sacred shout bands of the Eastern seaboard have remained largely unheard except inside the church built by the late Bishop C.M. "Daddy" Grace. In this first-ever anthology, the top House of Prayer shout bands perform live—showing how a choir of trombone "voices" brings congregations to "one accord" of ecstasy with the Spirit.

The Amazon editorial description of this album is right on. A few years back, steel guitar gospel was a cross-over hit. Now it is time for trombone gospel bands. The sound is related to the New Orleans brass bands - but is truly unique. The notes provided with the CD give a good introduction both to the United House of Prayer and to the six shout bands included in the anthology. My personal favorite is One Day at a Time and Ease My Troubled Mind although Madison's Lively Stones are delightful if you want a higher energy music.

Wow! Got this CD as a cutout at a brick 'n mortar store and it has just blown me away. If you like brass bands, gospel, New Orleans, jazz, or any music that can grab you and pull you in, this is one for you. Inspired music, really a gift from above.
