| Description: | 11th Annual Trinity Jazz Festival January 27, 28 & 29, 2012 Concerts. Master classes. Jazz mass. Trinity Jazz Festival The Trinity Jazz Festival began in 2002. The festival's founder, Father William B. Miller sees jazz -- city music par excellence -- as a vehicle for emphasizing both the Midtown church's urban setting, and its commitment to artistic expression. Rev. Miller believes, âThough jazz in the sacred context may be rare, it is a pairing that makes much sense - theologically, historically, and liturgically. Sharing some of the same roots as indigenous gospel music, this art form is rightly at home in the sacred contextâ. Rev. Millerâs hope is that the Trinity Jazz Festival will help Trinity Episcopal Church become âan integral part of the cultural and spiritual awakening in our great cityâ. The first festival featured Ellis Marsalis, the patriarch of the famed New Orleans jazz family, and Ed Calle, the popular Miami saxophonist, with each artist headlining outstanding performances. The headliners were accompanied by a number of Houston area jazz musicians, including pianist Paul English. Subsequent festivals have featured such notable talents as the legendary sax player David âFatheadâ Newman, trumpeter Marvin Stamm, Bud Shank, Andre Hayward, Jason Marsalis, Delfeayo Marsalis, Suzi Stern, Barrie Lee hall Jr., Kyle Turner, David Liebman, Roseanna Vitro and Jason Moran. Jazz Mass The 2002 festival also introduced the Jazz Mass - a jazz-themed service that concludes each yearâs festival. This extremely popular mass has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the most exceptional and inspiring events of its kind and has featured such unique works as the seldom-heard sacred music of Duke Ellington, as well as spirituals from Lift Every Voice and Sing, the official African-American hymnal of the Episcopal Church. The Trinity Jazz Festival has developed into one of Trinity Episcopal Churchâs most significant community outreach programs and the Jazz Mass provides a fitting finale to this wonderfully inspiring event. | |||
