Editor's info:
Salvator Mundi is the majestic and atmospherically rich album from saxophonist Mark Lockheart, organist Roger Sayer and composer and instigator of the project John Ashton Thomas recorded in the beautiful acoustic of Temple Church, London. Featuring interpretations of English composers including Stamford, Blow, Purcell and Tallis as well as new works by John Ashton Thomas, Salvator Mundi is a captivating balance of sounds, genre and musicianship at its most glorious and resonant.

“The space and acoustics of Temple Church play a massive part in the mood and character of this album. How would I describe this music? – to me it’s heavenly (whatever that means!) uplifting music that is both old and new. The sense that the majority of the music was composed long ago in England is powerful but also the combining of the freedom of improvising from a jazz perspective I think is really exciting.”
