O’s Notes: Jazz pianist Pamela York has done many wonderful arrangements of American standards. For Lay Down This World she turns her attention to traditional hymns and spirituals, a sea of work that is ripe for harvest. York’s instrumental arrangements infuse hip beats and a cool contemporary jazz groove into the church. Lynn Seaton plays bass with Sebastian Whitaker keeping time. Guest Andre Hayward plays trombone on two strong selections enhancing a package that will resonate for a large audience, seven days a week!
