"High & Lifted Up" (04/20/1999) Gospel Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Atlantic (USA)Personnel: Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir (vocals); Tom Hemby (guitar); Jonathan Woodby (Hammond B-3 organ); Lari Goss, Oliver W. Wells (keyboards); Joey Vazquez (bass); Michael Archibald (drums); Ron Zorbo (steel drums); Terry McMillan (percussion). Producers: Lari Gross, Neal Joseph, Brent King. Recorded at Tiki Studios, Glen Cove, New York; The Brooklyn Tabernacle, Brooklyn New York; Sound On Sound Recording, New York, New York. HIGH & LIFTED UP won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Choir Or Chorus Album. Nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Choir or Chorus Album, HIGH & LIFTED UP is a first-rate example of contemporary gospel. It's worth noting that no solo voices are credited, but somebody singing lead here--particularly on the gorgeous title tune and a stunning "Battle Hymn of the Republic"--is doing so as though her life depended on it. The huge (nearly 250-strong) group's characteristically thrilling massed vocals are backed by traditional gospel instrumentation (piano, Hammond organ, bass, and drums). Most of the songs here boast grand orchestral arrangements that sound curiously similar to John Williams-style film music. Things get further from the traditional gospel sound on the concluding "God of All Gods," where arranger Carol Cymbala adds middle-Eastern melody lines to the mix. Once your ear gets accustomed to that sort of thing, however, you'll likely sink right in to the plethora of pleasures offered by this unusual, yet rewarding album.

"Not by Might, Nor by Power" (02/22/2005) Gospel Mississippi Mass Choir, MalacoRecorded exactly 16 years after the group's 1989 debut, NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER captures the Mississippi Mass Choir at its prismatic best, still fresh, still lifting its collective voice up to the heavens with the same passion as when it was founded by late gospel legend Frank Williams (the Williams Brothers). It certainly doesn't hurt that the release is driven by another gospel leading light, producer Rev. Milton Biggham, who keeps the ceremonies exciting. NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER opens, as it should, on a thunderous note, with the rapturous "One More Day." The choir smartly slows down the pace with a pair of buoyant ballads, "God Is Keeping Me" and "The Next Time, Will Be the First Time," brought to life by the thrilling voices of Marva McKinley and Beverly Crawford, respectively. Biggham reveals the church's connection with its patrons, as he playfully banters about storms with the congregation, predicting strife with a righteous beauty that matches the striking "I'm Still Here." NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER ends on an inspiring note, as the choir's spiritual advisor quietly tells a story of a near-death experience and a nurse's conversion with an inviting humor and warmth that sums up the charm and the power of the Mississippi Mass Choir.
