Ali Jackson “Bring the World Home”
Ali Jackson played with his band on Wednesday, July 24, at 6 p.m. at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit, presented by the Detroit Jazz Festival Foundation and J.C. Heard JazzWeek@Wayne. It was an intimate club show featuring his unique, powerful swing with his trio.
After graduating from Detroit’s Cass Technical High School, Ali Jackson became a key figure in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, serving as principal drummer and heartbeat for Wynton Marsalis’s band for over a decade. He’s played with nearly every major jazz artist of his generation. In 2019, he led his own trio in Detroit, delivering a focused and dynamic jazz swing. Following his set, the J.C. Heard JazzWeek@Wayne open jam session started at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $10, with free entry for JazzWeek students and their families.
