JENNINGS Growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Michael began playing the trombone at age 10 and developed his early musical skills playing with local bands, one of which included Charles "Charlie" Wilson of the GAP Band. In the 70’s, Michael performed with and sharpened his vocal skills with "Vesta" Williams, in a local band called, "Twenty-First Century Flash." Performing and recording with some of the music business' best talents and pioneers, Michael’s smooth and melodic trombone-playing soon caught the eye of Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner of the "Ohio Players" and subsequently Roger Troutman of "Zapp Featuring Roger". As a professional musician in the 70’s with these two Ohio-based bands, Michael performed and toured with well-known acts such as Cameo, New Edition, The GAP Band, Midnight Star, Kool and the Gang, Slave, BT Express, and Confunkshun. Michael learned from these Old School musical styles and gifted musicians of the 70’s and 80’s music era. Michael’s soulful trombone playing and vocal styles, musical skills and performance credits can be found on the Ohio Player"s album, "Ouch", Zapp Featuring "Roger", "Zapp III", "Roger II", and the debut albums of "Bobby Glover", "New Horizons" and "Shirley Murdock".
