Best Spiritual book ever!
I'm thoroughly enjoying playing the spirituals in your new book! My favorite are Wade in the Water and Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child. I have all you previous books, but this could be my new favorite!

I love this new book! And so does our church! Your jazzy arrangements are always the best!
Craig Curry is hands down the best jazz piano arranger working in church music today!
From his collections for weddings, for Easter, numerous Christmas books to his most recent Spiritual collection - the advanced, but achievable, truly-inspired arrangements take congregations and gatherings to a whole new level of joy, wonder, and beauty. My personal worship at the piano in my living room always includes one of his pieces. I am grateful there is a musician today giving new life to classics!
Craig, your gifted arrangements come from the Lord through you to "make all things new" (2 Cor. 5:17) for our worshippers. Thanks for your terrific toil between the bars and among the staves. The results are just glorious and so fun to play!!
Curry & Jazz —
Piano Hymn Settings with a Blues Touch
Fresh jazzy takes on beloved hymns for advanced pianists.
I am loving playing these new bluesy & jazzy piano solos. In this reverent book, Craig has created such rich harmonies and fun rhythms - such a joy to play and listen to! A GREAT purchase!!
I was so excited to get this new Curry edition! The Doxology as a samba totally works. Love the gospelified King of Love and Leaning on the Everlasting! I think by far my favorite is the Brubeck-like Come Thou Fount in a fun 5/4 tempo. Keep arranging Craig! Your music brings me (& the congregation I play for) much joy!
