The music of SpiritJazz is modern in its
truest form but its melodies are derived from familiar songs
and hymns that have stood the test of time. The SpiritJazz
ensemble has been schooled in the traditions of American
jazz style and improvisation and the musical arrangements
contain all the key elements of good swing and solid jazz
ensemble playing. Hearing these arrangements will give you
a fresh take on classic and loved tunes of the Church. It
is our mission that the music of SpiritJazz unites the richness
of jazz with the hope and promise of faith in order to enhance
each melody's original meaning.
Tom is currently the Music Coordinator for Salem

Saints Lutheran Church in Cottage Grove. Together they
have created SpiritJazz, which performs throughout the
Twin Cities area. |
