Back in the day the jazz-sextet “A Sacred Concert” set out to perform excerpts of Duke Ellington´s so-called Sacred Concerts! In this particular setting of his music, Ellington found expression of his personal faith through text and music. The group enjoyed some success during the latter part of the nineties. In addition, the critics were generous in their evaluation: “…every part of the program was executed to perfection and occasionally there was such a harmonious symmetry that instruments and human voice were almost indistinguishable from each other, as it happens in good jazz.”
In this YouTube-selection a tune from each of the three Sacred Concerts are included:
The Lord´s Prayer from the 1st Sacred Concert, 
Freedom from the 2nd Sacred Concert and HERE
Is God A Three Letter Word For Love? from the 3rd Sacred Concert.
A Sacred Concert line-up:
Vini Kjærsgaard Iuel – vocal
Carsten Sindvald – sax and clarinet
Michael Salling – keys
Jakob Panduro – bass
Michael Sanvig – drums
Per Rasmussen - percussion

The Lord's Prayer

Purple Trio! This is both the title of the tune and the name of a new trio including Jon Hemmersam (acoustic guitar), Kim Kristensen (acoustic piano) and myself on EWI. In this constallation we set out to explore the universe of free improvisations. Thus, the tune is free of any kind of preconseptions. Noone knows what happens next! Enjoy!
