Carter, Ron / Dillard, Ricky * Sweet Sweet Spirit [New CD]

Legendary in the genres of jazz and gospel music, the "Maestro" Ron Carter and the "Choirmaster" Ricky Dillard present a unique hybrid album never done before. A tribute to Carter's late mother, 'Sweet, Sweet Spirit' is a collection of her favorite hymns that fuse the powerful history of gospel music with the skilled notes and crafted bass lines in jazz. This is an album bringing the gospel world into the jazz club, and vice versa.
