Welcome to our web page. Presbybop Music exists to create, perform, record, and distribute jazz music that expresses and enlivens the human spirit. We create music that reaches for transcendence while keeping our listeners' feet tapping on the ground. It's all about integration. Our jazz connects faith and the arts, joy and justice, musical freedom and the building of community. We firmly believe jazz improves human life!

THRIVING ON A RIFF

An extraordinary book by Bill Carter

"This book is no less than a love song to the art and genius of improvisation. It is also a musical primer about transcendence and the risks of biblical faith."
