Our Take

The Rochester Cathedral Choir and The James Taylor Quartet have teamed up to deliver a unique take on the traditional Mass with their latest effort, aptly titled "The Rochester Mass". This collaboration brings together the ethereal vocals of the cathedral choir with the funky, soulful sounds of the JTQ, resulting in a fusion that is both surprising and delightful.

From the opening track, "Kyrie", it is clear that this album is not your average church choir recording. The powerful harmonies of the choir are accompanied by the groovy organ and brass of the JTQ, creating a sound that is at once spiritually uplifting and irresistibly funky. The unexpected blend of sacred and secular elements throughout the album is a testament to the creativity and versatility of both groups.

Standout tracks include the Latin-infused "Gloria", which features a lively call-and-response between the choir and the band, and the soulful "Sanctus", where the choir's angelic voices soar over the JTQ's laid-back, jazzy groove. The album closes with a rousing rendition of the "Agnus Dei", showcasing the full range of both groups' musical talents.

Overall, "The Rochester Mass" is a bold and innovative take on a musical tradition that is centuries old. It is a testament to the power of collaboration and the endless possibilities of musical expression. Whether you're a lover of choral music or a fan of funky jazz, this album is sure to please.
