Northern Illinois University's Jazz Ensemble invited two percussionists to perform with them at Thursday's Spring Concert. The headliner is Victor Lewis, an internationally renowned recording artist. He'll share the stage with Robert Chappell, NIU Presidential Teaching Professor, who's retiring after 30 years with the music department. Ensemble director Ron Carter sat down with WNIJ's Dan Klefstad to talk about this evening of music.
