Jazz for heart and soul .   .   . 


In addition to playing for parties, weddings, festivals and many other kinds of performances, Quintessential has enjoyed  opportunities to explore the spiritual relationship between music and the heart & soul.

As people of faith we recognize that music is a wonderful and amazing gift from God.  Jazz, which has improvisation at its core, is a way of exploring "in the moment" the power of creativity.  As jazz musicians, we find expressing the creative impulse to be a transcendent experience that causes us to connect in inexplicable ways with the Creator. 

We have enjoyed participating in a number of events that have been designed to invite others into this creative spiritual experience.  Both players and listeners alike have found events such as jazz vespers to be meaningful moments in their life and faith journeys. 

Feel free to contact us if you would like to explore hosting a "heart and soul" event.
