A special guest appearance by vocalist Ariel Halt warmed the crowd with her exceptional rendition of Nature Boy. The MMJQ would like to thank the Milford High School faculty and staff for the use of the "Little Theater" for their debut performance.
The members of the MMJQ would also like to thank the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's Civic Jazz Ensembles, the educational program that mentored their talent and brought these musicians together. The Civic Jazz Ensembles, a national leader in jazz education, provides students with big band and improvisational training under the guidance of world-renowned jazz artists. The Civic Jazz Ensembles provide Michigan's premiere young jazz musicians with pre-professional training that builds upon the great tradition of jazz in Detroit.
