Jesus is the name we honour
Lord reign in me

“The aim is to worship Jesus with the music of my soul,” comments Marcus; and as worship music it certainly swings!

The band is focussed around guys who play in our own worship group – Marcus, Dan and Kirsty, plus Ed and Stephen who often join us for our regular jazz services. But then a host of top UK jazz musicians have joined us for the fun of it: Mike Smith on drums played for Shirley Bassey for years; Andre Messeder on bass has played for anyone who is anyone – including the great Peggy Lee; then there are trumpeters Andy Greenwood (Westlife, Strictly Dance Fever) and Steve Jones (Glenn Miller Orchestra UK, Rat Pack), trombonists Ian Moffat (Syd Lawrence Orchestra) and Al White (Jools Holland, Georgie Fame), saxophonists Lauren Hignell (Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Rat Pack) and Sue Greenway (Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Chicago).


Every song is a worship song, so there are vocals throughout. These are shared between song writer and worship leader Tim Hughes from Holy Trinity Brompton and Soul Survivor, the amazingly pure-voiced Carolyn Turnidge from Cambridge and of course mainly Marcus himself!

CDBaby.com says:
This is contemporary worship re-imagined with a full swinging big band at the helm; think Frank Sinatra meets Matt Redman, or Vineyard arranged for Harry Connick Jnr: it swings and sways and pulls you up to God via the dancefloor… (It) is a surprise - a British Big Band that really swings playing a collection of today's finest worship songs. It's worship music, but not as we know it!

The Church of England Newspaper says:
Marcus Green's enjoyable disc is the only one that I know that sets today's praise songs to Big Band swing... The vocals ooze a feel for the genre, and the players are superb. Tim Hughes joins in.
