Straight Ahead
Grammy-nominated Detroit jazz group Straight Ahead, the first all-woman jazz band signed to Atlantic Records, plays Cliff Bell's in Detroit on Sunday, October 11, at 5:30 p.m. A second show follows at 7:30 p.m.
Straight Ahead is one of the most enduring groups in Detroit jazz. The lineup features Alina Morr on piano, Marion Hayden on bass, Gayelynn McKinney on drums, Ingrid Racine on trumpet and Kymberli Wright on vocals. Their sound moves from jazz to Latin music and jazzy hip-hop, and their live shows are built on power and joy.
They have shared stages with Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Nancy Wilson and Dianne Reeves, and they have five recordings to their name, including Look Straight Ahead, Body and Soul and Still Swinging.
Doors open at 4 p.m. for dinner. Seating starts at 4 p.m. for the first show and at 7 p.m. for the second.
