In Pure Curry, Craig Curry has chosen ten sacred tunes and arranged them in a variety of jazz styles. Appropriate for the early advanced pianist, these arrangements would make excellent music for worship services open to jazz or for recitals.

The arrangements are fully notated, so they have the possibility of opening the world of jazz to classical pianists. Some arrangements include jazz solos, and since they are notated, they allow the classical pianist to study their construction. This will perhaps motivate novice jazz players to attempt their own improvised solos. Chord symbols also are included, allowing further harmony study.
