Carl McRoy, with guests Dr. Philip Wesley and Dr. Robert Nelson talk about “Jazz in The Sanctuary,” at Saint Peter’s United Church of Christ in Ferguson, Missouri this Saturday evening at 7 P.M.
Featured in the beginning of the performance is a panel discussion “Music, Church, and The Gospel.”
Nelson started out in church, standing on a box, learning to enunciate and project, learning piano and musicianship. A “cultural strategist,” producer and arts executive, he wants to create a space for appreciation of the art forms of jazz, blues and gospel.
“I don’t hide that I’m a believer, but I also don’t hide that I’m a jazz singer. . . I see music as a part of that quilt of our cultural experience.”
