I was honored to be invited to sing at the funeral service for news icon Walter Cronkite at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York. As you may imagine, the sanctuary was packed with family, friends, colleagues, and other well-wishers of the late Mr. Cronkite. The choir sang a beautiful and eclectic program -- the "Lacrymosa" movement from the Mozart "Requiem", an arrangement of "Precious Lord" written by Tommy Dorsey, and an arrangement of "When the Saints Go Marching In" by John Rutter. Maestro Bill Trafka, director of music at St. Bart's, asked me to improvise the first verse of the song as a call & response with alto sax, expertly played by Javier Arau. Javier also led a small group of jazzers who accompanied the choir and piano on this song. Check out the video from the Associated Press to the right, which has snippets of the service.
