In this episode Jamie Howison shares a conversation with Ike Sturm, bassist and composer, and the Music Director for the Jazz Ministry at St Peter’s Church in Manhattan.
Downbeat Magazine awarded Ike’s Jazz Mass album four and a half stars, describing it as “an excellent work that melds jazz and the mass genre together extremely well,” and noting that it “exudes serenity, peacefulness and a still calmness.”
To find out more about Ike Sturm and to listen to samples of his work with his duo project Endless Field, visit his website. You should also take a look at a lovely video of his setting of Psalm 23, which features at the end of this podcast. If you live in New York or happen to be planning a trip to that vibrant city, we recommend you find out more about the Jazz Ministry of St Peter’s Church.
