A biblical storyteller and a jazz pianist walk into a bar – and a new recording project was born. That’s the origin of John According to Jazz, a unique Presbybop Music project from many years ago. Our hosts invited Dennis Dewey to reminisce about that fateful winter night in Grand Rapids when he and Bill Carter dreamed up a way to connect jazz with the Bible. Generous samples of the music are included for this very special episode which we have released for the season of Lent.
