This album was released in 1978 as part of the World Folk Music Series supervised by ethnomusicologist Fumio Koizumi—renowned for releasing numerous works featuring traditional music and field recordings from around the world—features African American church music recorded at the Holiness True Vine Church in Portland, Connecticut. It captures the atmosphere of a Sunday worship service, progressing from simple percussion and handclaps to chants, hymns, confessions of faith by the congregation, and a sermon by the pastor. This is a rare and valuable recording that offers a firsthand experience of the roots of Black music, which continues to influence genres such as jazz and soul to this day.
