Straight Answer Trio is a band of local musicians, dedicated to keeping traditional jazz music within the cultural environment of the Central Illinois community. This was the foremost goal of pianist Mike Gardner when he founded the group in 2017.  

Gardner set out to find key musical ingredients to accomplish this, adding into the mix experienced  percussionist and drummer David Collier, and  Bloomington’s own hometown guitar phenom Gary  Muhammad. Currently and since its founding, Straight Answer strives to keep music alive and exciting!  

While the group employs traditional jazz sounds and songs in their repertoire, revamped and refashioned songs from multiple genres can also be found in their performances. Simply put, Straight Answer is the band  for the lover of melody and the enthusiast of  musicianship!
