The author, a jazz musician himself, claims that the influence of the Christian ideas of the sacred and holiness has been an ever-present aspect in the development of jazz. He discusses the most outstanding works that reveal this kind of inspiration, referring to the albums of such musicians as Duke Ellington, John Coltrane (in particular his A Love Supreme), Billy Harper, Sonny Rollins, and Dave Brubeck. Special attention is given to Polish jazz and to the compositions inspired by the texts of Karol Wojtyła–John Paul II.
