The Jazz Preacher

From his boyhood in the turbulent 1960's in Natchez, Mississippi, to the recording studios of Muscle Shoals and Nashville; David Baroni shares the story of his musical and spiritual journey. This award winning songwriter and recording artist has shared his music and his life with audiences all over the world including Italy, Russia, Nigeria, Greece and Kuwait. Writing with warmth, humor and transparency, here is the story of "The Jazz Preacher."

"Many know David Baroni as one of the finest worship composers alive. But, we didn't know he was also such a great storyteller. David has a novelist's eye for the rich details of colors, sounds, and touches that make reading such a wondrous experience. Trust me; whether he writes about magnolia-scented Natchez, Mississippi, playing with Bill Haley and other greats, or meeting his beautiful and cherished Rita, David pulls you right into the moments and the magic of his very personal story. “The Jazz Preacher” is a fine and compelling book."
