Russ Macklem’s Detroit Quintet
Russ Macklem leads the Russ Macklem Detroit Quintet, featuring Detroit's top musicians Kasan Belgrave, Jordan Anderson, Michael Abbo, and Louis Jones III. The group performs original compositions recorded live in a single studio session, capturing the spirit of early 1960s jazz.
Following his Juno-nominated debut album "The South Detroit Connection," trumpeter Russ Macklem presents his sophomore studio album, "Introducing: the Russ Macklem Detroit Quintet," at Cliff Bell’s. The quintet includes alto saxophonist Kasan Belgrave, pianist Jordan Anderson, bassist Michael Abbo, and drummer Louis Jones III, with Macklem leading. The album was recorded live in one session at Willis Sound, a converted church studio in Willis, Michigan, striving for an authentic live feel reminiscent of early 1960s jazz. Notable tracks feature "I Will Persevere," "Nostalgia: For A Past Life," a poignant ballad, and "Mr. Anderson," a lively homage to the pianist. Produced by Russ Macklem and Ron Skinner, engineered by Skinner and Ben Lorenz, the album was released by TQM Recording Co.
