The jazz trumpeter steps up to the microphone. Light outlines his horn. With closed eyes, he begins. The crowd settles, quiet and reflective, as the tune hangs in the air. A saxophones bellow enters in, then the basss moan, finally the pinpricks of the piano, and the steady rhythm of the drums. Its Sunday, the song is Amazing Grace, and its time for church.
