The Detroit City Jazz Orchestra Plus is dedicated to highlighting and celebrating its incredible musicians, composers, writers and arrangers, all of whom hail from this wonderful city of Detroit. The brilliance of these wonderful artists extends far beyond jazz, blues, R&B, funk, techno or any other genre, and you’ll hear them shine in this exciting program celebrating The Jones Brothers, the legendary jazz innovators raised in the Detroit area. Hailing from an amazing musical family, Hank Jones was a renowned pianist and NEA Jazz Master; Thad Jones was one of the all-time greatest jazz trumpet soloists and a brilliant composer, arranger and bandleader; and revolutionary drummer Elvin Jones played with the great John Coltrane.
