"God
moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform," goes the old
hymn written by William Cowper in 1774. In your hands, you have a
unique recording that combines two wonderful musical idioms. Who
could imagine well-loved hymn tunes could be woven together with jazz
standards and arrangements to make a great musical
tapestry?Vancouver pianist Peter Dent demonstrates on this album and on his previous popular "An Old Fashioned Hymn Swing" that you can combine these two musical forms with integrity and grace. He brings his great love for and knowledge of the hymns of the church together with the novelty of musical association and jazz forms. There is also a clever playfulness in his arrangements and titles.
You may come to this because you love old hymns or because you are a jazz fan. Here you will find respect for both. Three very talented jazz musicians, Peter Dent, together with the free-flowing bass of Dave Young and the exciting drums of Terry Clarke, offer you the listener something quite wonderful and unique. God does move in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.
