“It came from my mother. She was a singer, and literally every day of the week she sang at a different club in a different genre of music: country, R&B clubs, jazz clubs, church on Sunday morning where she was the music director, pop hits, soft rock. I grew up listening to all this music, so it was never one thing for me.” DifferentCountryMotherChurchMorningOne ThingWeekRocksListeningGrewDirectorsGrew UpJazzClubsPopsSingersGenreSundaySunday MorningDifferent GenresDays Of The WeekGenres Of MusicChurch On SundayDifferent Genres Of Music Author:Robert Glasper
“I grew up listening to my grandfather's stories of our musical past. He would often talk about the orchestras that played at concerts and the musicians who played on Sunday evenings on street corners. By the time I grew up in the '80s, all of this was a thing of the past. I lived vicariously through his stories and often wondered what it would have felt like to have been part of his generation.” Has BeensStoriesPastFeltGenerationsStreetsListeningGrewGrew UpMusicianMusicalCornersEveningSundayConcertsGrandfather80sOrchestraMy GrandfatherStreet CornersSunday Evening Author:Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

“I've been listening to a lot of gospel. I think it's the most beautiful kind of music. Just thinking about a group of people on a Sunday morning - no drugs, no partying, just connecting with a higher power.

So the recording captures the spirit that comes through.” PeopleThinkingKindTogetherBeautifulSpiritPartyMorningListeningDrugSundayChoirHigher PowerSoulfulSunday Morning Author:Jared Swilley
