Episode 8 - Guest JJ Wright

J.J. Wright's style cannot be easily categorized. Trained as a jazz improviser at the New School for Jazz in NYC, he's also passionate about sacred music. Palestrina and Bach vie with Monk and Cannonball Adderley as just a few of his harmonic and melodic inspirations. While with the U.S. Naval Academy Band, Wright performed for the President—as well as several other high-profile diplomatic gigs—and with the Caribbean Jazz Project: Afro Bop Alliance, recording and performing with vibraphonist Dave Samuels. The album was nominated for a GRAMMY for 'Best Latin Jazz Album' and won the Latin GRAMMY in the same category. In addition to Mr. Samuels, J.J. has had the privilege of performing with Billy Hart, Ike Sturm, Nate Wood, Chris Cheek, Zach Harmon, Mark Ferber, Matt Ulery, and Delfeayo Marsalis. J.J.'s website: https://jjwrightmusic.comVespers for the Immaculate Conception: https://www.ignatius.com/Vespers-for-the-Immaculate-Conception-P3449.aspx

Ep. 1: Sacred Music with Composer JJ Wright

JJ Wright brings to audiences a new vision of religious music. No longer is glorifying God confined to specific  lanes of either hymns or popular praise music, or even Gregorian Chant. Wright, a native of Buffalo, NY and a music professor at Notre Dame, has combined them all including jazz, to create his new work called Vespers for the Immaculate Conception. It's the kind of work the Advent Season has yet to see. And on this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, you can get a sample of some of the sounds of the work. Vespers will get a New York Premiere tonight, December 5th, 2019,  at the famous and iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral on 5th Avenue under the baton of Dr. Jennifer Pascual, the music director of St. Patrick's, who has directed the Cathedral music in front of two Popes. Before you listen to the podcast, check out the trailer for the creation of this new piece.
