One of the most beloved hymns receives a jazz ballad treatment from Craig Curry. Filled with lush jazz chords and harmonies, Craig’s arrangement opens quietly, builds to a powerful and dramatic climax, and then fades away with a soft, peaceful conclusion. As a bonus, Craig includes a shorter version (with the middle “improv” section omitted, lowering the performance time from 5:15 to 3:45) to use when you have time constraints.
