Community Calendar

Live jazz has the power to inspire, promote community, and encourage empathy for all people, not just musicians. The mission of this performance is to provide world class jazz to students with low exposure to the music. Additionally, through the generous support of Michigan State University’s Running Start Program, entrance to the show is completely free!

Preston hopes to honor the storied history of Detroit jazz by playing compositions by some of Detroit’s finest musicians, alongside some of the city’s current torch-bearers in Rodney Whitaker and Xavier Davis.

Preston Fox is a guitarist, composer, and educator from Indianapolis, Indiana, and a proud product of the city’s vibrant jazz scene. Preston is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Jazz Studies at Michigan State University, where he studies under renowned jazz guitarist Professor Randy Napoleon. Preston Fox will be joined by an all star band featuring Rodney Whitaker on bass, Xavier Davis on piano, and Alonso Umana on drums.

Doors open at 5PM; Show at 6:30 PM

Pianist Caelan Cardello brings imagination, lyricism, and deep musical connection to every performance. Praised by Bill Charlap for playing that is “an extension of his soul,” Cardello has performed with celebrated artists including Christian McBride, Jimmy Cobb, and Randy Brecker.

This performance marks a return to Kalamazoo for Cardello, who previously appeared at Sounds of the Zoo in 2023. A finalist in both the 2026/27 American Piano Awards and the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition, he is equally at home leading his own trio or collaborating with fellow artists. Among his notable collaborations is Rufus Reid Presents Caelan Cardello, a duo album with NEA Jazz Master Rufus Reid that grew from an impromptu showroom performance and was released in 2023.

A graduate of The Juilliard School, Cardello blends a strong foundation in both jazz and classical music with performances marked by spontaneity and expressive storytelling.
