Jazz Vespers: A Service of Thanksgiving

Over the past ten years, Jazz Vespers has become a beloved tradition at Duke Chapel. Sing, rest, pray, and celebrate in these worship services combining the ancient Christian tradition of evening vespers services with the aural idioms of Black sacred music, including jazz, gospel, and the spirituals.

Duke Chapel ministers lead the service, which includes "jazz prayer stations" with various forms of prayer. Duke's vice provost for the arts, John Brown, and his "Little" Big Band lead the music.
