New Year's Eve at Cliff Bell’s
On December 31, 2019, Detroit’s T-Bone Paxton Trio kicked off the night at Cliff Bell’s, followed by a lively jazz set by Alex Harding and his band. There were two dinner seatings plus standing room tickets to celebrate into midnight.

T-Bone Paxton, Detroit native and son of local piano legend Fred Paxton, led his trio through what he calls the “Non-Standard, Standards” — a mix of classic and modern takes on American Songbook tunes.
From 10 p.m., baritone saxophonist Alex Harding and his band Organ Nation, joined by some surprise guests, brought energetic, funky jazz that kept people dancing into the new decade.
Guests could choose between two dinner seatings with multi-course menus and wine pairings, and stay for a midnight toast. Late arrivals and those without dinner reservations could join with a standing-room-only ticket starting at 10:30 p.m., with a cover charge at the door.
