Chicago jazz favorite Tammy McCann pays homage to gospel pioneer and Chicago legend Mahalia Jackson. “Yes, Mahalia!” is a fresh and soulful re-imagining of Jackson’s music that captures the synergy of her unique sound and pairs it with the sonic power of big-band jazz. Over the last 20 years, Tammy McCann has toured the world with her gospel group, Tammy McCann & The Voices of Glory.

The CCM Jazz Orchestra concert includes a variety of works that showcase McCann's powerhouse vocals, to be selected from Jackson's hits including Kumbaya, Elijah Rock, I Want Jesus To Walk With Me, Wade In The Water, Down By The Riverside (all arranged by Eyal Vilner) and more.
