Gospel Jazz anyone?

[Ginny]

I've been thinking, has anyone heard of the gospel jazz music style? There's a pair of singers (israeli ones, surprisingly) whose concert I went to, and it was wonderful. Most of the songs were in english, so I'm wondering if this style is sung in other places.
To clear up: Gospel Jazz sounds like gospel music (or church songs) but accompanied by Jazz music. I'm not christian myself, but it appealead to me.

Btw, if Iris and Ofer Portugaly are on tour somewhere near you and you think you might like this style, it's very recommended.
