It Is Well with My Soul

During our time of sheltering in place, here is a beautiful smooth jazz virtual collaboration of the Gospel hymn, "It Is Well with My Soul." Thanks to my friend, David Brazzeal for bringing this to my attention.

From the YouTube site:

With friend musicians Johnaye Kendrick (vocals), Dawn Clement (fender rhodes), Evan Flory-Barnes (bass), Rogerio Boccato (drums) and myself (guitar, arrangements, and production) we used our cell phones during the stay at home order to record this timeless hymn, "It is Well", for the Jazz Vespers of Lake Forest Park.

I Love to Tell the Story

Here are Emmylou Harris and Robert Duvall singing the Gospel hymn, "I Love to Tell the Story." The song was featured on the soundtrack for The Apostle, which starred Duvall. The hymn is an old favorite featured in many Protestant hymnals, like the Baptist Hymnal that I grew up singing from.
