Nat Dixon, pastor and jazz musician, releases new album
Before Nat Dixon preaches, he picks up his tenor saxophone and riffs a bit.
Blending the gospel message with jazz is what the former full-time musician has been doing for years, with his parishioners at St. Stephen’s United Methodist in the Bronx, New York, as the principal beneficiaries.
Recently Dixon released his first CD in more than 20 years, Made in New York City: Nat Dixon and Friends. It includes Dixon’s sacred compositions, such as “My Lord, My God” and “Jesus Eyes,” as well as his “Back Street Blues,” a 1990s hit on jazz radio stations, to which he added Christian lyrics.
