I love the music I've purchased so far - love listening to it and playing it. I played "Since Jesus Came Into My Life" from the Gospel Improv book last Sunday and it was a hit. I'm looking forward to buying more when I get a chance.

Comments
This is an awesome collection of great arrangements. I am playing a solo concert this Sunday that includes most of these works, but I have of course made alterations in the improv and push some of the tempos a bit. Thanks Craig for giving us jazz guys something to play in the walls of a church!!
Thanks for your encouraging words. Hope your concert went well! I added it to the Performances Map in the “About” section.
