"In Bethlehem in the grotto where Christ was born, a light shines into the darkness. The light is meant to serve, as light serves for so many religions and philosophies, as a symbol of truth and love and hope ... hope that even in a dark season, we may begin to see the world bending towards the light."
Charles Kuralt, from The Jazz Nativity
"By the end of "The Jazz Nativity" you know you've been through something wonderful ..."
~Dr. Billy Taylor, CBS Sunday Morning
"Brilliant, infectious music roars from an all-star band ... a spell-binding production!"
~New York Amsterdam News
