Bassist Terrence Richburg Release 1st Edition Of His New E-zine: “The Jazz Gospel Central”
If you follow jazz bassist, you have probably heard of Terrence Richburg. Halied as the “bassist’s bassist,” the musical prodigy has been in the scene for quite a while, having played alongside artists like Aretha Franklin, The Winans, Jennifer Holliday, Richard Smallwood & Vision (to name a few).
A well-known musician, producer, arranger and songwriter, Richburg is taking his love of the gospel jazz genre and turning it into a new e-zine and website. The name of his e-zine is The Jazz Gospel Central and can be found at http://www.jazzgospelcentral.com
The first edition of the Jazz Gospel Central e-zine debuted on October 1, 2008, with the aim to reach out to the thousands of jazz, gospel and Christian jazz music lovers and musicians. The head of RichEscape Music, home of praise and worship leader Terrell Hunt, Richburg aims to give the often overlooked genre some well-deserved attention.
What is Gospel Jazz?
Well, as the name suggests, it aims at finding the best of both genres (Gospel & Jazz) and combining them into a truly unique approach toward music. With increasing popularity and acceptance within the Christian community, and some within the secular world of musical entertainment, Richburg believes that commercial acceptance and equality in the market place is still missing.
Always hopeful and optimistic, Richburg replies:
“Gospel Jazz brings together two of the most precious of these artistic riches implanted within the fertile hearts and minds of many gifted artists and musicians, several of which are awaiting the opportunity when they and their music will be discovered and presented to the world.”
