Today’s Michigan Jazz Trail featured players are all music professors at Central Michigan University: Bob Lindahl on trombone, John Nichol on tenor sax, and Jeff Kressler on keys.The trio joined Current State not only to play, but to talk about their careers in music.

The Michigan Jazz Trail sends Michigan-based jazz musicians to Current State play live for you on the second Friday of each month.
