"Inspired by James Weldon Johnson’s 1927 collection of poems that mimic the rhythm and cadence of gospel preachers, and by the powerful brass tradition carried out at the United House of Prayer For All People in Harlem, which has been bringing congregations to one accord of ecstasy and spirit for decades, God's Trombones," according to press notes, "focuses on universal spirituality."
