A jazz trio headed by SIUE professor Reggie Thomas is in the running for the Riverfront Times 2004 Best in Jazz award.
"I'm not concerned whether or not I win, " Thomas said. "But to be nominated is just another opportunity to play."
The Reggie Thomas Trio played Saturday at the Delmar Restaurant & Lounge in University City.
"We're happy to be a part of the festival. It went very well but the performance times were just too short," Thomas said. The group played for 40 minutes.
Thomas is a professor of music at SIUE. He is a jazz keyboardist and plays organ and piano as well.
Thomas said the awards program will be held Tuesday at the Delmar Lounge.
