Time + Mercy is an afternoon of soulfully interpreted spirituals and hymns, carefully selected to bring warmth and create a sacred space. The duo, Mike Effenberger (piano) and Chris Klaxton (trumpet), reimagine traditional pieces of religious music and transform them through a range of styles typically native to gospel, jazz, and the avant-garde. The duo will be performing in our acoustically gorgeous Sanctuary using the newly gifted and restored Steinway B. This concert is hopefully the first of many in a South Church music series.
Effenberger and Klaxton have a long history of performing together in a variety of contexts and styles - improvisation being central to nearly every project.
As gigging jazz musicians holding long-standing positions as UCC church choir directors, both Mike and Chris have found a host of spirituals and hymns to be as fertile a landscape for rearrangement and improvisation as any American Songbook standard.
