The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is leaving on a jet plane and heading to the Motor City this week to hang out at the swanky, restored art deco club known to the locals as Cliff Bell’s. The jazz club opened its doors in 1935 and has hosted some of the biggest names in the industry all while serving up nightly a creative, eclectic fare with live jazz on stage. Two shows nightly and of course, this voyager will be at the 9:30pm seating which accommodates between 100 and 150 patrons.

On the marquee is Detroit native, vocalist Kimmie Horne, who comes from the legendary family that gave rise to singing stars before her, Lena and Cleveland. She hosts her self-titled jazz festival annually, tours internationally and is gracious enough to spend a few gigs in her home city to perform for her fans.

Cliff Bell’s is located at 2030 Park Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 48226. For more information visit https://cliffbells.com.

The Jazz Voyager

Staying on the east coast and heading back down to the city to the lower westside of Greenwich Village to the iconic jazz spote called the Village Vanguard. The 130 seat venue has been around since 1935 and has brought hundreds of legendary musicians to this New York stage. Their 16 musician Vanguard Jazz Orchestra which began as the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra in 1966, plays every Monday night.

This week I’ll be having the privilege of hearing Joe Lovano & the Dave Douglas Quintet, who will be inresidence for a week. They have been playing together for some years, and when Lovano brings his tenor saxophone and pairs it with Douglas’ trumpet which creates an exciting performance.

The Village Vanguard is located at 178 7th Avenue S, New York City, NY 10014. For more information visit https://villagevanguard.com.

ERIC ALEXANDER

Eric Alexander is one of the most sought-after saxophonists on the modern jazz scene. “The people I listened to in college are still the cats that are influencing me today,” says Alexander. “Monk, Dizzy, Sonny Stitt, Clifford Brown, Sonny Rollins, Jackie McLean, Joe Henderson – the legacy left by Bird and all the bebop pioneers, that language and that feel, that’s the bread and butter of everything I do.”
