Forty Days (Dave Brubeck)

Dave Brubeck wrote a sacred oratorio The Light in the Wilderness. "40 Days" is a movement from that work, a meditation upon Jesus' time in the wilderness. Jesus' temptations in the wilderness are traditionally reflected upon by the church as we enter the Lenten season.

Forty Days (Dave Brubeck)

I found this gem, Dave Brubeck's “Forty Days,” from his Light In The Wilderness oratorio at Night Lights post, Sacred Blue: Jazz Goes to Church in the 1960s. It is performed by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
