Looking forward to a special night, this is what Laura wrote on her Facebook post:

This is a FULL CIRCLE moment for me and I want you to be a part of it. Chris Bickley is not only an incredible saxophonist, but I also credit him with being the main reason I ever considered getting into jazz. He put the idea in my head about twenty years ago, and it just STUCK. I’ve never had the opportunity to perform jazz with him, so this moment is incredibly special to me!

From his website: Chris Bickley has performed in concerts and jazz festivals throughout the world … Montreux International Jazz Festival, Montreux, Switzerland, Carnegie Hall “Jazz Cavalcade” series, North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, Netherlands, Bix Beiderbecke Festival, Davenport, Iowa, and the Detroit Montreux Jazz Festival. A graduate of the internationally acclaimed Interlochen Arts Academy, he has served as the Director of  Jazz at Central Michigan University and Northwestern Michigan College. Chris has performed with many jazz legends including: Woody Hermans Thundering Herd, Herbie Hancock, and leads his own Jazz groups and Big Band.

Please mark your calendars and make a point to come grab a drink and a small plate. Please consider coming early to the Walloon Watershed to be sure you can get a seat!
