Roger Jones and Higher Calling
Roger L. Jones II from Flint and his band Higher Calling played at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit on Friday, January 27, 2017, at 9 p.m. Their modern jazz mixed with gospel roots made for an intense and contemporary set worth remembering.
Roger L. Jones II discovered his musical gift as a child at the Greater Holy Temple COGIC in Flint, where gospel shaped his passion for jazz. He honed his craft at Oberlin Conservatory and shared stages with jazz greats like Wynton Marsalis and Joe Henderson. His 2004 debut album was titled “Out of the Wilderness.” With his band Higher Calling, made up of outstanding musicians, Jones brings a fresh and modern take on jazz that swings hard.
