Nikki Malley & Her Quartet

About the Musician: 

Nikki is a jazz vibraphonist, musicologist, and most recently, specialty foods maker and store owner based in Galesburg, Illinois. The Nikki Malley Quartet features some of the region’s most renowned jazz artists: Derel Monteith (piano), Andy Crawford (bass), and Jason Brannon (drums). Together, the quartet enjoys presenting classic and non-standard repertoire within the unique sonic context of the vibraphone quartet.

“As a newcomer to Westminster,  I’ve found it to be a most welcoming fellowship.  I look forward to going to services and events and find the warmth of the congregation to be most helpful to a newcomer to the entire area.  I find sermons challenging … music beautiful and well prepared … and a dignity in the worship that is all too lacking in most Protestant congregations.  Mix this with an open atmosphere where it is OK to question and still be seen as a good Christian, and I know I’ve found one important ‘home’ in Central Illinois.”
