St. Luke’s United Methodist Church presents organist Jean-Willy Kunz and the InSpirations Ensemble from Montreal in an unforgettable evening of jazz and classical music.
The musical kaleidoscope offered at this concert bears witness to the wide spectrum of the group’s respective musical influences, from the traditional music of eastern Europe, via klezmer, to jazz. The organ becomes a versatile and unifying instrument, capable of unexpected sonorities. Its rich timbres provide an ideally textured background for improvisations on the clarinet, saxophone, and trombone. With its large range it can rival the double bass in the low registers, and join with the percussion to complete the rhythm section of this extraordinary quintet.
