The Jack Lantz Sextet will present a Jazz Vespers concert and worship experience featuring the jazz versions of hymns, spirituals and gospel music in the sanctuary of La Cañada Presbyterian Church on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m.  

Come light a candle in honor of a loved one who has gone before us and let their memory be a quiet flame in the evening light. Then sit with us and meditate on the scintillating jazz of memorial, funeral and resurrection: music born of sorrow and lifted by hope, the sound of the New Orleans second line, where grief walks slowly to the grave and joy dances home. Come remember, come be still and come hear the saints go marching in. 

The Jack Lantz Sextet (Lance Rickman, alto and tenor saxophones; Jeff Kaye, trumpet; Ido Meshulam, trombone; plus Zac Matthews, bass, Dave Marks, drums and Jack on piano) improvises on a wide range of familiar hymns and gospel music in swing style.  

No charge to attend (a free will offering received) and no reservations required for this hour-long event.

Join us for an extraordinary experience as we pray and cry for peace in our time. LCPC Jazz Vespers will also be livestreamed at live.lacanadapc.org.
