For more than a quarter
century, the Detroit Jazz Fest has entertained millions of fans with jazz
legends ranging from Herbie Hancock to Yusef Lateef and Ron Carter. Today,
it ROARS on six stages over four days, with blues, gospel, R&B, and
one of the finest jazz lineups on the planet. The festival also offers educational
events, daily second-line parades, fire works, and rare opportunities to
meet the artists. And it’s all FREE!
In 2008, the Detroit Jazz
Fest will celebrate the rich musical traditions of Philadelphia and Detroit
and the “Trane” that connects them.
Billed as A Love Supreme: the Philly/Detroit Summit, the
festival will feature Philadelphia native and renowned bassist Christian McBride
as artist in residence. Other featured artists include Dianne Reeves,
Hank Jones, Gerald Wilson, Geri Allen, along with Philly stalwarts Benny Golson,
Jimmy Heath, Joey DeFrancesco, Pat Martino and many more. For more information,
