The Best of The Best Jazz from Detroit Documentary
October 9 @ 7:30 pm
$12.50
THE BEST OF THE BEST: JAZZ FROM DETROIT is a landmark — the first documentary film to explore the dynamic story of the city’s innovative and influential jazz musicians. Inspired by Mark Stryker’s award-winning 2019 book JAZZ FROM DETROIT, the feature-length film makes the case that you can’t tell the history of jazz without telling the history of jazz from Detroit…The film features legends like Elvin Jones, Yusef Lateef, and Ron Carter along with today’s stars like Karriem Riggins, Kenny Garrett, and Regina Carter, all worldclass jazz musicians who have rolled off Detroit’s assembly line.
WYSO’s Dave Barber will host a post screening talk session with writer and co-producer Mark Stryker, arts reporter and critic at the Detroit Free Press for 21 years. Prior to departing for Detroit in 1995 he was arts reporter at the Dayton Daily News from 1993 to 1995. Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 7:30. Tickets are $12.50 each.
