"...Brass Roots Trio is delightful!  It's amazing some of the sounds they achieve...very entertaining and inspirational."     Mark Hayes, Composer & Pianist “I am thrilled with your wonderful renditions of my music.  Your CD is fantastic!  Thank you for including my creative efforts on your project…You guys really rock!”   Joseph Martin, Composer & Pianist Inspirational Programs From cathedrals in England, the Crystal Cathedral in California, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NY to small country churches in the heartland of America, Brass Roots Trio has touched the hearts of thousands of listeners with a ministry that reaches beyond musical style or a certain religion.  These programs are a tapestry of gospel, jazz and contemporary sacred music woven together with scripture and poetry.  The music reflects the spirit of the readings and touches on an array of emotions.              1.  "Reflections of Peace"           2.  "American Vespers"           3.  "Gabriel's Celestial Horns"           4.  "40 Days" (Please contact for complete program outlines) “If you can imagine Garrison Keillor meeting Aaron Copland on Bourbon Street, you begin to get a sense of “Reflections of Peace,” performed by Brass Roots Trio.  Taking traditional hymnody and re-spinning it in the genre of jazz Americana, the trio suspends the listener through the essence of time. Peace is not about the absence of war but the presence of love.  The Brass Roots Trio – three musicians whose love connection with music has the capacity to connect and heal the bonds of our humanity.”   - Jennifer Shepherd, The Living Church Magazine  “This was one of the most powerful musical experiences to take place in our church - because it was a spiritual experience - full of hope, and a deep and profound longing for peace.  The enthusiasm of the audience spoke volumes and the sense of the Holy Spirit at work was palpable.”        Canon Donald C Macdonald, St. Osmund's Church, Derby, UK   Donald.C.Macdonald@btinternet.com “One of our members said, “that wasn’t entertainment, it was worship!” I do not recall an evening of music, scripture, and prayer that was as moving as the one that the Brass Roots Trio shared with us.  The musical capabilities of the performers was only exceeded by the content of the program, “Reflections of Peace.”  People from the community are already asking when they will return and I, for one, can’t wait.”      Rev.
