"Always On Sunday" to Feature Jazz Trio Feb. 19
2/19/2012
The second concert in The “Always on Sunday” concert series, scheduled for Sun., Feb. 19 at 3:00 pm, will feature Bill Carter’s Presbybop Trio comprising Bill Carter on piano, Al Hamme on saxophone, and Tony Marino on bass. The concert will be held at the First Presbyterian Union Church, 90 North Avenue, Owego.
Bill Carter and the Presbybop Trio, the best known musicians playing “sacred jazz” in the United States, have toured the country extensively presenting concerts and jazz worship services. The collective resumes of the band members include performances with the likes of Dave Brubeck, Marion McPartland, and the late Binghamton-born Slam Stewart, among many others.
Carter’s full-time job is Presbyterian minister in Clark Summit, PA. He has been composing and arranging music for thirty years, and is considered a national authority on the use of jazz in liturgical settings. Al Hamme is a consummate saxophonist, clarinetist, and flutist, and directed Binghamton University’s jazz program for thirty years. Bassist Tony Marino plays his bass around the world and is widely hailed as one of the rising stars of the jazz world.
“Always on Sunday” concerts are free and open to the public; however, donations are welcome. The final two concerts in the 2012 series will be held on March 18 and April 15. The March 18 concert will feature Ithaca-based traditional folk singers Phil Shapiro and Carrie Shore. Light opera and song will be presented at the final concert on April 15.
The “Always on Sunday” series is made possible in part with funding from the Tioga County Senior Citizens Foundation and the Cooper Foundation.
