Traditional church Organs are no longer the exclusive domain of Bach and the like - popular styles have conquered the “king of instruments” and found wide-ranging forms of expression. The only thing missing to date is a broad selection of suitable pieces. This is where Jazz Inspirations For Organ steps in. This comprehensive collection of moderately difficult pieces by various composers and organists offers “classical” swing jazz blues and Latin numbers side by side with rumba ragtime and calypso. A chorale prelude on Silent Night rubs shoulders with a Swing Fughetta and Latin for Lefties.The collection's great attraction lies in its personal treatment of the various themes. The editors are experienced organists fully conversant with the timbral possibilities of the pipe Organ. Their suggestions regarding registration are valuable tips that allow organists to develop their own style and be creative.

'Every bar of philip Moore's Paean is beautifully considered.' - Geoffrey Webber of choirandorgan.com 'This cheerful piece by Philip Moore is another work extracted from the Organists’ Charitable Trust Little Organ Book. As ever with one of the UK’s finest composers of ‘traditional modern’ organ music the work is literate idiomatic and pleasing to the ear. Making only moderate technical demands yet being full of colour and character this would be an excellent voluntary or recitalwork for any organist.' Sunday By Sunday  December 2017
