Barry D.

Born to Play
TAQA Records

“Born to Play” is an appropriately named 11-song album of smooth yet funky jazz — styles not quickly identified with contemporary Christian music. And it’s popping with the instrumental talents of highly acclaimed songwriter and piano prodigy Barry D. There are parts that are downright amazing — of special interest is his brilliant rendition of modern Christian music standard “God of Wonders.” Recommended for your drive home. Recommended for your soul.
