The Jazz Voyager

Leaving the Nutmeg State for the Great Lake State for a little jazz in The Hill neighborhood of Grosse Pointe Farms. This week’s destination is the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe serving upscale eclectic cuisine in an intimate space with dark-wood decor & leather seats.

The Jazz Voyager gets to witness another new band as Signal Quartet takes the stage this evening incorporating the freewheeling adventurousness of the avant garde and the improvisation of post-bop. The foursome reaches young and old purists, radicals, aficionados and neophytes alike.

The venue is located at 97 Kercheval Avenue, Michigan 48236. For more information visit https://dirtydogjazz.com.
