Darius, meanwhile, will be writing some new material for the quartet. Chris will be playing with New Heavenly Blue on weekends, while also trying to raise a B average to an A at the University of Michigan, where he is majoring in music and the bass trombone. Danny will be deciding whether to stay in Darius' group or head south to the North...
