Jim Mullen Trio - Jazz Vespers September 2025

The doors will open at 6:00pm with some wine and nibbles and the service will begin at 6:30pm.

Our featured musician this month will be Jim Mullen on the guitar leading the trio!

The service will also include readings of sacred writings and poetry, and a time of meditation or prayer. Our context is Christian, but the service is intended to be inspirational and reflective.

Jazz is open, fluid, and improvisational. Musicians reach out to each other and find new art and music in the ways that they play together. You could say the same about spirituality and faith. And so this service centres on the music with spiritual reflection.

What is Vespers? The word comes from the Latin for "evening" and it's simply an evening prayer service. We use the word because of the spiritual nature of the service and continuing the tradition of Jazz Vespers services started in New York City in the 1950s.
