The album brings forward the musical influences Paul studied in Louisiana to create a musical message that lifts spirits and help us all persevere in these difficult times. Hymns Vol 1 is crafted in the tradition of Louis Armstrong and aims to please the mind, the heart, and the body. With Hymns Vol 1, Paul Giess accurately portrays the full breadth of the tapestry that is American music. While Jazz is most often construed as purely African American art form, a deeper look reveals that none of our experiences can truly be separated from the whole. This poignant message, delivered at the highest musical standard, sets on a path of true understanding as we prepare ourselves for the next leap forward in human connection and reconciliation.
