Manufacturer Description

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 notion of an old-fashioned trombone band might conjure up funny, nostalgic sounds. But the ecstatic, trombone-heavy brass groups captured live on Saints' Paradise play gospel music that will take you higher. These ensembles, known as trombone shout bands, have stylistic connections to New Orleans jazz brass bands and Albert Ayler's spiritually influenced compositions. However, shout bands can usually only be heard in United House of Prayer churches on the East Coast. A typical shout band features husky lead trombone playing backed by a trombone choir, tuba, and percussion. There are variations on this big sound; Washington, D.C.'s Madison's Lively Stones swagger, while the Happyland Band from Newport News, Virginia, have a smoother, more easygoing style. "Sweet!," by Harlem's McCollough Sons of Thunder, is the CD's longest track. It's nearly seven minutes of ever-building, pure joy. --Fred Cisterna
