Hi. This group is for the underserved of us who like jazz AND gospel. Socialize with others with common interest as we plan events in venues comfortable for all members regardless of cultural tastes or religious background. If you are a jazz purist or a gospel-only devotee this group may not be for you. Since well-known jazz musicians present gospel music and vice versa, so it should be very interesting! See you soon.
