Carl Cafagna & North Star Jazz
Carl Cafagna and North Star Jazz played at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit on Thursday, March 15, at 8 p.m., mixing East Coast sophistication with Midwestern grit in an instrumental jazz set.
Led by Berklee-trained Carl Cafagna, North Star Jazz delivers tight, compelling music with a three-horn frontline featuring trumpet and two saxophones. The band includes talented Detroit, Michigan, and Ohio players like Scott Gwinnell on piano, James Hughes on saxophones, Jordan Schug on bass, Scott Kretzer on drums, and Dr. Scott Cowan on trumpet. North Star Jazz was among the first to play at the reopened Cliff Bell’s in 2006 and returned for this memorable evening in 2018.
