April 28, 2007, Lovers Lane Church sponsored the first sacred big band festival in the world. In 1965 Duke Ellington composed the first “sacred” jazz music for the dedication of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Based on Ellington’s concept, the Lovers Lane Jazz Band was formed in 1992 for the purpose of Christian mission work. |
