Krupka Trio: Hymns in a Jazz Mood Vol. 2

Read "Hymns in a Jazz Mood Vol. 2" reviewed by Geno Thackara


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.
