Gospel Music

Vibraphonist Joel Ross's fifth Blue Note release, 'Gospel Music', is a post-bop exploration of his faith, presenting a sonic interpretation of the biblical narrative through an expanded sextet. The album's compositions track the story of creation, the fall, and salvation, blending the intricacy of Ross's earlier records with the directness of his church upbringing. Featuring his Good Vibes band, the performances are built on a principle of collective improvisation, creating a sound where the vibraphone and saxophones move together with the unity of a choir to deliver a message of hope and love.
