The Master's Jazz Ensemble
Grace United Methodist Church
Directed By Mr. Anthony Lechner
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet....
Praise him with the clash of the cymbals,
Praise him with resounding cymbals,
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
PSALM 150:3-6
The Master's Jazz Ensemble welcomes anyone who likes to play jazz music. The group plays for Traditional and Contemporary Worship Services. This unique ensemble was created two years ago in 2006 originally with only 8 members. After it's first performance the popularity started to boom, allowing the ensemble to establish its name and a full roster of 16 members. This is also a music ministry "outreach" program that plays for benefit concerts or events in the community. Some jazz experience is desired, but not necessary. God has certainly blessed our ensemble allowing us to be able to minister in many different ways.
