    The 9th Annual Trinity Jazz Festival opens Friday, January 29 at Trinity Episcopal Church and runs through Sunday, January 31.

    The Trinity Jazz Festival began in 2002. The festival's founder, Father William B. Miller sees jazz -- city music par excellance -- as a vehicle for emphasizing both the Midtown church's urban setting, and its commitment to artistic expression.  Rev. Miller believes, “Though jazz in the sacred context may be rare, it is a pairing that makes much sense - theologically, historically, and liturgically. Sharing some of the same roots as indigenous gospel music, this art form is rightly at home in the sacred context”.

    This year's festival will feature:
