Krupka Trio: Hymns in a Jazz Mood Vol. 2

Whether it's meant deliberately or not, the cover image for Hymns in a Jazz Mood, vol. 2 is a pretty apt illustration: the simple church building is central, but doesn't need to be at the front and center of attention. The pastoral feel of the forestscape covers everything more prominently, though half the tree shapes somehow look as shimmery as reflections in water. The sight seems common and even mundane, but with something not entirely earthly about it.
