For the Beauty of the Earth
Bradley Sowash’s final release in the acclaimed trilogy of hymns and spirituals for
solo jazz piano has a decidedly personal feel. Some of the selections emphasize nature
such as Shall We Gather By he River, The Ash Grove, and the title cut, For
the Beauty of the Earth. Others dig deeply into jazz traditions such as the blues
inflected Go Down Moses or a striding This Little Light of Mine. Whatever
the style, Sowash’s unique take on these timeless melodies both surprises and
delights. Four bonus tracks include sample cuts from previous recordings.
Designer Bryan Huber’s spiritually suggestive packaging contributes to the sense
of intimacy with a scrapbook format that includes excerpts from the artist’s
journals, pressed leaves and Frank Hunter’s haunting photos of earthly pathways
