The Detroit Tenors at Cliff Bell’s
The Detroit Tenors, led by tenors Carl Cafagna and Steve Wood, played at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit on Friday, January 10, at 9:30 p.m. They paid tribute to legendary 40s and 50s tenor sax pairings with a modern jazz twist.
The Detroit Tenors, Carl Cafagna and Steve Wood, honored iconic tenor sax duos like Gene Ammons-Sonny Stitt and Dexter Gordon-Wardel Grey from the 1940s and 50s. Their sound also reflects influences from Elvin Jones-era tenor bands and contemporary players like George Coleman and George Garzone.
Cafagna and Wood are staples of the Detroit jazz scene, having performed with major local and international figures. With an explosive rhythm section of Gwinnell, Keller, and Dobbins, their show was packed with energy and musical fireworks.
