Hymns in the Garden is an album by saxophonist Kirk Whalum issued in 2001 on Warner Bros. Records.[2] The album reached No. 18 on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and No. 27 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart.[3] The album was nominated for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]AllMusic's Jason Birchmeier declared "Don't expect too many surprises from Kirk Whalum's Hymns in the Garden if you're familiar with his previous few gospel-tinged albums like Unconditional and The Gospel According to Jazz. Like those two albums, Whalum goes out of his way to invest a considerable amount of spiritual sentiment into his candy-coated crossover jazz."[1]
