Influenced by jazz, blues, and gospel through his parents, his talent was spotted early by music teacher Herbert Nicholson, who guided him toward jazz. His professional career began in high school with composer Harold McKinney, followed by collaborations with Marcus Blegrave and jazz saxophonist Donald Walden. Formed in 2009, the Ali Bey Quartet explored various jazz styles during their set at Cliff Bell’s. Tickets cost $10 at the door.
