Jazz and Scripture blend Metro Stompers delight capacity Trinity congregation Jimmy Galloway and the Metro drew capacity hand clapping swaying congregation to Trinity United Church Sunday night for an experiment in jazz liturgy for worship produced by minister Gordon Turner that simply carried some listeners away Worship in a Modern Mood was the theme for the night of Celebration and it was obvious from the start the the minister and the band established a rapport which could not be upset by any discomfort from heat in the church It was a celebration of life and I was particularly pleased with the spiritual climate of the service especially the way the people felt the atmosphere of the moods and music said Trinity minister Gordon Turner It went beyond what I had hoped for Some uptight Mr Turner admitted some were uptight over the fact a band which specialized in Dixieland jazz should occupy the focal point of the service but then he said some people feel it is wrong to show emotion while giving thanks to God 1 don t It was obvious to the and myself the congregation was responding right from the start the young minister said and it was one of the greatest things I have ever taken part in in any church Mr Turner said the musicians themselves gained from the experience and they have been invited elsewhere to produce the same night of worship and celebration TV stations have requested it and parts have already been broadcast over the radio The worship service itself was a vehicle to celebrate life and its meaning to the Christian Mr Turner supplied the commentary in seven themes beginning with Creation and continuing through The Fall of Man The World of Man By God- There Hope the Gift of the True Human Jesus Christ The New Humanity and Wc I in Hopt Now and Ever The Metro Stompers interpreted these themes musically through their instruments Song expression Enthusiasm for the message of the band was most apparent when they swung into When the Saints Go Mar chin In and Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man from Galilee a song in the vernacular Rev Turner said expressed the Christian message better than some churches were doing today But i pews was ecstatic over the musical message While some swayed and clapped in rhythm others sat silently obviously unsure just what to make of the new experimental type of worship The Free Press asked several people their opinion of the Celebration and ot several different replies One man said simply It different and loud Another thoroughly in favor said he enjoy rock services but this was his cup of tea Not raucous A visitor from another town worship is something that is not raucous To be meaningful it should have moodsetting music and jazz was not his style However he found the minister commentary and fill in sincere and thought provoking There was another comment from the chairman of Presbytery He said he wished the same format and music had been used for the ordination service in Kitchener two weeks ago although there were pros and cons for the music from the Stompers in a church there was no doubt of the tremendous musical talent of the group It was difficult for anyone not to tap their feet sway to the arrangements or respond to the rhythm The congregation got so enthusiastic at times they leaped to their feet to clap and sway In time to the message There was a note from the Acton area in the band when at one point an old jazz musician and fan took a turn on the drums But perhaps the most significant fact of the Celebration was the packed church It proved there was a lot of interest in jazz in a worship setting evening was sponsored by the members of the Teen Confirmation class of Trinity United The Metro Stompers led by Jimmy Galloway appeared courtesy of their leader and the
