Carolbeth True, Glen Smith and Kevin Gianino play jazz interpretations of the Pentecost hymns, as well as playing for congregational hymns and soloist Nikki Weiss. A beautiful Pentecost celebration in a wonderful space.

“Carolbeth is a cornerstone of the St. Louis jazz scene, but also one of the hardest working jazz educators this town has ever seen! Her quartet Two Times True features three of the city’s most notable players, Dave True, Glen Smith and Larry Johnson. Their work together shows Carolbeth’s playing in a very powerful light.”
