“Gospel Jazz” artist Ben Tankard recently re­
leased his 15th CD “Let's Get Quiet: The
Smooth Jazz Experience, ” featuring smooth jazz
tunes and Gospel interpretations of favorites
from artists like AI Green.
Tankard featured Green's hit “Everything's
Gonna Be Alright" because of its message of
encouragement.
“When you get quiet, when you get in the pres­
ence of God, you find the promises of God in
the Bible,” Tankard said. "Everything's gonna be
all right!”
