Salvator Mundi is the majestic and atmospherically-rich new project from saxophonist Mark Lockheart (Loose Tubes, Polar Bear) and organist Roger Sayer (Organist of Temple Church and Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar film score).
The project features works by English composers including Henry Purcell, Thomas Tallis John Blow, Stanford and William Byrd, alongside new pieces written specially for the project by the late John Ashton Thomas, Lockheart, as well as a homage to Duke Ellington’s sacred work Come Sunday.
This unique collaboration can be seen as a celebration of the English church music tradition and the exploratory nature and common ground between jazz and classical improvisation.
