If we'd had just the adult and kids' choirs singing the jazz melodies to the liturgy, it would have been great.
Adding the Panorama Jazz Band - even better.
An appearance by Sophie B. Wright School's band - raising the roof.
Having Allen Toussaint there...stratospheric.
But Toussaint's bringing up a special guest, getting some heart-in-my-throat dueling piano action on "St James Infirmary" going, then bringing him back for a grand finale of Adon Olam to the the tune of "When The Saints Go Marching In"?
Mind. Completely. Blown.

That is too cool!
thanks for sharing this! I follow you on twitter and was very excited to read about this. I grew up at Touro and have soooo many memories of sitting in that sanctuary! What an awesome experience it must have been!
