MSU Federal Credit Union has put a new spin on Blue Mondays.
The credit union's East Lansing, Mich. headquarters has been serving as jazz central as part of its MSUFCU Jazz Artist in Residence program. The Blue Mondays series began in 2013 not only as an investment in the MSU College of Music curriculum but also as a way to enhance high school and middle school music programs across the country.
A recent concert held Oct. 6, featured bassist and composer, Christian McBride. A 20 year veteran in the jazz world, McBride has performed with musicians ranging from Milt Jackson, Roy Haynes and Chick Corea, to Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. He has also played with and arranged for musical legends as Isaac Hayes, Chaka Kahn, Lalah Hathaway, Sting and James Brown.

The next Blue Mondays concert has been slated for Dec. 1 and will feature jazz trombonist, Robin Eubanks.
