H Amazing Gracearr. Jack Schrader. Absolutely
inspired! Jack's perspective on this beloved melody
is to use a slow, gospel style. The authentic piano
accompaniment has all the piano licks you could
possibly want, and supports the arrangement just as
well as the marvelous orchestral track. In a creative
twist, the last verse features the instruments on the
melody as the choir acts as "back-up singers" to
the piano. Part of our American heritage, Amazing
Grace is a hymn everyone knows, and this
arrangement adds a richness to the melody that
you simply must hear to appreciate.
