Successfully blending the sounds of jazz, blues and swing, U-M staff member Gerald Ross has created a style uniquely his own. Whether he is playing swing blues, pop or tropical flavored melodies, his good humor and musical talent are captivating. He has appeared on "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor and he has performed with Arlo Guthrie and Bonnie Raitt. His concert at 12:10 p.m., Jan. 17 in the University Hospital first floor main lobby is sponsored by the Gifts of Art, 936-2787. (Photo by Margaret Gyetko)
