Gospel/Jazz Artists ?

Some artists that spring to mind are Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, Kurt Carr and Hezekiah Walker. Don't know whether I'd exactly call it jazz infused gospel, more soul/r'n'b infused but it's heading in that direction - a more modern direction than traditional gospel.

For (smooth) jazz in a Christian/gospel context I'd recommend Abe Laboriel's band (Koinonia - think a Christian version of Fourplay. Mostly instrumental and VERY VERY GOOD whether you're spiritual minded or not) or his solo/duo work with Justo Almario.

I think I've still got a cassette of Koinonia somewhere!

Busy, musical bass playing is an integral part of contemporary American gospel music. Add Marvin Sapp, Israel Houghton, Fred Hammond, Darwin Hobbs, Mary Mary, William Mcdowell and Donald Lawrence to the artist list above and you have a good overview. Andrae Crouch is considered the trailblazer for the modern sound, so he definitely needs checking out too.
