"Every man prays in his own language, and there is no language that God does not understand."–Duke Ellington

The two-CD set is a collection of the SRJO's best recordings made at concerts between 2001 and 2005 in performance at the annual Duke Ellington Sacred Music Concert presented each year by Earshot Jazz.

The three Sacred Music Concerts that Ellington premiered in 1965, 1968, and 1973, and were the culmination of the last, liturgical phase of his life's work.

Highlights include the epic pieces "Praise God and Dance" and "In the Beginning God," the spirited "Ninety-Nine Percent" and "Don't Get Down on Your Knees to Pray Until You Have Forgiven Everyone," and the stirring ballads "Heaven" and "Too Good to Title."

Special guests on the recording include internationally renowned jazz singer Dee Daniels, Seattle vocal stars James Caddell and Nichol Eskridge, and the award winning Oregon Repertory Singers.

Also featured are SRJO soloists, including pianist Larry Fuller, trumpeters Jay Thomas and Thomas Marriott, saxophonists Hadley Caliman, Bill Ramsay and Mark Taylor, and bassist Phil Sparks, plus the SRJO's two artistic directors, saxophonist Michael Brockman and drummer Clarence Acox.
