Juanita Bynum and Jonathan Butler Transcend Musical Boundaries with "Gospel Goes Classical"

“The evening was spectacular,” said Bynum whose record company, Flow Records is partner in the project with Maranatha! Music. “This CD will truly usher listeners into the presence of the Lord. The fantastic orchestra and the various cultures and backgrounds of people who participated in this live recording truly speaks to music being universal, and I believe that this project will transcend to all music genres and will be appreciated by all humankind.”

Butler, multiple Grammy Award nominated, Gold-selling, international recording artist, has had successes over his twenty-five year recording career in pop, R&B, smooth jazz and adult formats. His canvas is even more expansive than the above mentioned genres, he masterfully dips his brush into vibrant hues of Africano, world music and gospel colorings. Butler, is a soulfully inspired man, who sees music as "the purpose and tool which God has used for my life." If we must label and define this individually gifted artist and his music, "Soul Jazz" seems to be the most fitting.

“Gospel Goes Classical was suchan exciting project to be a part of. It is more than gospel; it brings together all forms of music and showsthat you can bridge allgenres. Not only is thisan anointed projectbut also a messagethat transcends age, color and background,” said Butler.

Rarely does one find a musical collaboration that works on every level, but Gospel Goes Classical embraces the beautiful sound of the instruments and intertwines them with harmonious vocals producing an unforgettable evening of music, inspiration and praise.
