Trombonist Jason Miller performed Wednesday with Marshall University faculty to end the Guest Artist Series at the Jomie Jazz Center.
Miller was a professor in the past and is a composer who writes all of his own music.
Miller has a history with jazz music and has played numerous shows across the Hudson Valley and New York City.
Miller played his favorite songs during the set before playing his own.
“It’s turning out to be a night of playing all my favorite songs,” Miller said. “I promise we will get to the ones I wrote eventually. I just can’t seem to stray from some of my all time favorites.”
Alicia Downard, a Huntington resident, said she loves coming to the jazz series.
“I love coming for all the jazz shows,” Downard said. “Jazz has always been one of my favorite genres so I love being able to have access to new musicians with this series of performers.”
Miller was accompanied by Zach Arbogast on the piano, Steve Heffner on the bass and Rod Elkins on the drum.
Miller recently finished recording on West Point Jazz Knight’s album and Miller’s personal music can be found on Spotify and other music streaming services.
The artist series finished its jazz showcase and will continue with senior showcases to end the spring season.
