Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra
The Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra played at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit on Thursday, January 10, 2019, at 8 p.m. This long-running big band delivers high-quality jazz with a deep connection to the city’s jazz history.
The Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra started as a rehearsal band for Gwinnell’s compositions and grew into a mainstay of Detroit’s jazz scene. They played at famed spots like the Music Menu Cafe and Cadieux Cafe, often joined by trumpet legend Marcus Belgrave. Their residency at Cliff Bell’s boosted their profile, leading to award-winning albums like "Brush Fire." In 2009, they performed a concert series commissioned for the Detroit Jazz Festival by bassist and composer John Clayton, earning a standing ovation. This show opened with a local high school jazz band at 7 p.m.
