With Jazz Praises at St. Paul's, Michael Garrick welds liturgical grandeur to jazz improvisation, conjuring an atmosphere as reverent as it is free. Featuring the Michael Garrick Sextet, John Marshall, and the St. Paul’s Cathedral Choir, this 2005 release radiates both spiritual inquiry and creative boldness, transcending boundary with every motif.​​

When 'Jazz Praises' was first re-issued by Jazz Academy in 2005 it was it's first appearance on CD. This ground-breaking 1968 recording by composer, pianist Michael Garrick, includes two extra tracks which were not included on the original LP issue. Recorded in St Paul's Cathedral, Garrick plays the organ, as his highly original sacred music is performed by various combinations of choir and jazz sextet.

The sextet features the cream of the British jazz scene with Art Themen and Jim Philip on saxophones, Ian Carr on trumpet, Coleridge Goode on bass and John Marshall on drums.
