Nikki Malley: Jams, Jellies, & Jazz

Published on: 16th April, 2023

With our guest Nikki Malley, we got a vibraphonist, a canning enthusiast, a Galesburg jazz legend, the proprietor of Malley Farms on Seminary Street in Galesburg & a grease trap fanatic.

We're also serving up snippets from the Nikki Malley Quartet & their live performance at the Trail Side Event Center in Peoria Illinois as part of the Central Illinois Jazz Society concert.
