Show more One of the most celebrated contemporary choral composers, Bob Chilcott has a long-held affinity with jazz. With a characterful accompaniment and a swinging rhythm, A Little Jazz Mass offers up the Latin Missa brevis as you’ve never it them before. A Little Jazz Mass has been performed across the world in both concerts and liturgical settings, including at St Paul’s Cathedral. The piece was written for the 2004 Crescent City Choral Festival and premiered at St Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.
