Listen "S15 E11: Urgency and Intimacy with Julian Davis Reid "
Episode Synopsis
“How do we hold both urgency and intimacy in our creative practices? How
can an artist become a vessel of divine presence — not only in churches,
but on club stages, in studios, and in everyday life?”
In today’s episode, I’m joined by jazz and gospel pianist Julian Davis Reid
— a Chicago-based artist-theologian whose work sits at the crossroads of
sound, spirit, and scholarship. Julian is a founding member of the
jazz-electronic fusion group The JuJu Exchange and the creator of Notes of
Rest, a ministry that invites the weary into the rest of God practiced in
the Bible and Black music.
In our conversation, Julian and I talk about finding flow as a spiritual
discipline, the tension between performance and presence, and what it means
to make art that is both urgent and intimate.
