The Chicago Soul Jazz Collective (CSJC) is a band driven toward a performer-audience relationship of headshaking, hard-grooving, spirit-lifting original music influenced by the renown of classic soul-jazz. According to Chicago Reader, CSJC produces music that is “a prime portal for listeners who don’t limit their music by category but are driven simply by the groove”.

Jazz Prayer is a relaxing yet invigorating Friday evening experience – a perfect way to end the week and enter into the weekend. Refreshments are provided at 7:10, followed by the service at 7:30. You’ll experience live jazz from professional musicians, interwoven with thought-provoking readings and prayers selected for the evening’s theme. Children are welcome – the services are over around 8:30 so it’s not too late of an evening for children (or adults!)
