<description><![CDATA[It's too easy to call Whalum the Kenny G. of inspirational or gospel jazz, but the description fits; he's one of his generation's most inspirational and accomplished jazz instrumentalists. However, his talent's more than just saxophone deep. Even with all the remarkable notches on his resume -- he's played on projects for Whitney Houston, Vince Gill, Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones and other legends -- Whalum's creative passions run deepest in his gospel creations.

<description><![CDATA[David Bauer's studio arrangements of traditional hymns and praise choruses
are gentle and restorative. They're as hypnotic as the popular <I>Nature
Sounds</I> series with the added bonus of deeply recognized spiritual
melodies. Though Bauer deals in a few completely synthesized creations, some
of his most beautiful work is found in the piano and harp duets.

<description><![CDATA[Phil Keaggy is impossible to pigeonhole: he's an appealing acoustic presence falling somewhere between Leo Kotke and Eric Clapton, but with several stylistic detours along the way. Almost overnight he jumped from playing with Alice Cooper to being a part of early Christian music founders Love Song, and in the process he developed into a rare breed: a true, gritty, soulful musician nesting in an industry still trying out new chords. Although he has recorded everything from blues bar sets to back porch bluegrass to Sunday morning hymnsongs, Keaggy's signature style -- a gentle Spanish/folk-rock/classical mix -- remains throughout. His music fully captures the spirit of the guitar and is perfect for midnight drives.

<description><![CDATA[Only a few years new to the scene, Robert Randolph (most often joined by "the Family Band) is the single most funkadelic rock-gospel player in the industry. The urgency in his musical passion is born of a life balanced between the torment of the streets and the haven of the soulful sounds surrounding his childhood home. Randolph started playing the pedal steel in his Orange, N.J., House of God Church, an African Pentecostal denomination where the pedal steel has become known as "sacred steel" based on a musical history dating back to the 1930s. He praised the Lord, stomped his feet, and shook the rafters all the way to venues like New York City's Beacon Theater and the long-revered Wetlands. When the Wetlands closed their famous doors for the last time, Randolph and the Family Band were asked by the owners to rock the walls one final time on that propitious night, oddly enough to the beat of a wailing gospel groove. Fire extinguishers are definitely required when Randolph plays his number one most requested, "I Don't Know What You Came to Do."
