To Jazz in a Sacred Space this afternoon, a benefit for Habitat for Humanity Buffalo put on by the Colored Musicians Club at Blessed Trinity Church. The Ladies First Big Band and the George Scott Big Band were featured, and I was pleasantly surprised by the event. I'd never been to the church before, or really even in the neighborhood-- the Central Park District, rather off the beaten path. I don't go in much for churches, or religious art, for that matter, but this is really one of the more spectacular churches I've seen in Buffalo-- or anywhere, really. The architecture emulates Lombard Romanesque with Byzantine details, with handmade bricks, and extensive terra cotta ornamentation, quite unlike anything else I've ever seen.
They are doing it again June 13-- if you are in the area, it is worth checking it out. Good cause, good music, interesting venue-- what's not to like?
