There’s plenty of live jazz in Bloomington, Indiana on any given night. And if you’re in the audience, there’s a good chance one local musician is either playing or promoting that music you’re hearing. That figure is trumpeter and veteran of the local Bloomington jazz scene, David Miller. Miller spoke with WFIU’s David Brent Johnson about his experiences since coming to Bloomington in the mid-1960s.
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, David Brent Johnson moved to Bloomington in 1991. He is an alumnus of Indiana University, and began working with WFIU in 2002. Currently, David serves as jazz producer and systems coordinator at the station. His interests include literature, history, music, writing, and movies.
