Detroit 2013

[Mike Schwartz]

2013 Detroit Jazz Festival Artist-In-Residence Grammy award winner Danilo Pérez is among the most influential and dynamic musicians of our time. In just over a decade, his distinctive blend of Pan-American jazz (covering the music of the Americas, folkloric and world music) has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. Hailing from Panama, Danilo’s abundant talents and joyous enthusiasm make his concerts both memorable and inspiring. Whether leading his own ensembles or touring with renowned jazz masters (Wayne Shorter, Roy Haynes, Steve Lacy), Danilo is making a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music, guided, as always, by his love for jazz.

I have no control of my life (work, travel) but every six or so years, I'm in town for a festival. And they've always impressive in terms of the talent presented, the organization and the "other stuff". I particularly recall the lectures, presentation and discussions relating to the "Before Motown"book the year of hurricane Katrina (2005? 2004?) Yeah, it's.mainstream -y and family oriented, not for the hardcore snob, I guess. But it is a good time.

I'd love to go to this one; a number of friends have and always came away happy.
