Trumpeter Allen Dennard, a 2016 graduate of the University of Michigan’s School of Music, leads his own rotating jazz ensemble and regularly plays with Detroit jazz legends like Marion Hayden and David McMurray. His debut album, Stepping In, channels the classic Miles Davis quintet vibe. Dennard’s style stretches beyond straight jazz into Detroit’s diverse music scene, including hip-hop, rock, blues, soul, and gospel. Guided by mentors such as Marcus Belgrave, he refined his craft through challenges and influences. The event featured two shows with doors opening at 5 p.m. for dinner, and the first show beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets were $25 each.
