Nu City Mass Choir is OK
Continued from 1B
The choir is an offshoot of the
Chicago Mass Choir, which
released a CD last year.
There isn’t much new on this
CD that hasn’t been done
before. There are moments
when it’s very good, such as
“Oh How I Love Jesus” and
“Worthy of The Praise,” but for
the most part it’s just OK.
