Music at Pine Street is pleased to open the 2010 – 2011 season with a performance by the nationally recognized jazz quartet, Presbybop, presenting Jazz for a Sacred Space on Friday evening, October 8 at 7:30 p.m. Presbybop is a venture of Bill Carter, jazz pianist and Presbyterian minister. After years of pretending to split the life of faith from the music of jazz, Bill has been trying to find links between the two halves of his brain. Presbybop is his attempt to integrate his strong Presbyterian faith with the rhythms of bebop. In 1993 he formed the Presbybop Quartet with Al Hamme, his college music professor from Binghamton University.

Based in northeastern Pennsylvania, this group of consummate professionals has presented concerts and jazz worship services in churches around the country. Their music has been widely acclaimed. To date, Bill’s Presbybop Quartet has recorded seven compact discs. Bill Carter spends most of his time as a busy pastor in a bustling church. Yet he keenly senses that God wants him to use his musical gifts as a means of reaching people with the good news of God’s grace, peace, and joy. His jazz ministry has received national recognition, and has served as a model for integrating the arts in Christian ministry.
