Min. Steve "MusicMan" Turner & Praise Unlimited Christian Jazz Band

The Praise Unlimited Christian Jazz Band was started in 2000, while serving as the House Band for a Church Mother's appreciation service. Guests were so impressed, that they kept walking up to Min. Steve wanting to know their band's name. Later that month a good friend of Min. Steve, Pastor Edward Ramsey, needed a band for his mother's birthday celebration, which was being held as an outdoor catered event. Min. Steve volunteered. The guests & family all danced to their music, wanting to know the band's name. Now twelve (12) years later, the Praise CJB is still going strong. The band's founder & leader, Min. Steve, writes & sings original songs influenced by: Donnie Hathaway, Stevie Wonder ( He has been compared to both), Parliament Funkadelic, Rev. John P. Kee, The Winans & J.Moss. Inherited my musical gifts from my late mother, who had the 1st. Gospel choir in Maryland who who was created to minister on the radio fro a weekly church broadcast. The Radio Chorus served for 46 years. Min. Steve got his 1st. chance to lead a song, sang for 14 yrs.,and eventually, served as their last organist for 7 yrs. Power! Praise! Funk! & Jazz! is the only way to describe this band.
