Take six seasoned musicians and their chosen instruments (B3 Hammond, piano, sax, guitars, bass, and drums). Then add a dozen gospel tunes, including stuff by such worthies as Walter Hawkins, Fred Hammond, and Donnie McClurkin. Mix thoroughly, and you have a 'Sunday Morning Jam'; it certainly ain't quiet, but it ain't heavy either! Cool sounds abound, Ralph Lofton's B3 Hammond and Donald Hayes' saxophone are outstanding, and the other guys lay down a good solid platform to enable the soloists to shine. Running time is generous at just over an hour, and this is definitely worth a look if you are partial to gospel jazz, because this is a drop of good stuff.
