The Gospel According to Swing is an electrifying, 'tour de force' concert that journeys from early gospel through jazz. From Mahalia Jackson, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and beyond, Byron Stripling celebrates music that's oozing with the spirit and passion of gospel and bubbling with the joy of jazz. Finally, this concert wraps up with a soul stirring jam session combined with the beat of an old time revival. Selections include 'Amazing Grace', 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen', and 'Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.'
