Joel Ross | Gospel Music | Album
Regular price
Vibraphonist Joel Ross released his fifth Blue Note Records album, Gospel Music, on 30 January 2026. The record is a deeply personal "sonic interpretation of the biblical story" that explores Ross's faith and his upbringing in the Chicago church. Reviews describe the album as an "artfully realised statement" that balances the complex post-bop of Ross’s earlier work with the more accessible, melodic focus of his recent releases like Nublues. Critics note a shift toward a "refined ensemble sound" that channels sincere jazz through a "gospel center".
