Tariq Gardner & Evening Star
Drummer Tariq Gardner's group Evening Star played sets at 7 and 9 p.m. on Friday, August 29 at Ann Arbor's Blue LLama Jazz Club. They blend Detroit jazz history with an afro-futuristic cosmic vibe.
Evening Star is Detroit drummer Tariq Gardner's space odyssey through music, blending the city's rich jazz roots with styles from the African Diaspora like neo-soul, Afro-Cuban, spirituals, and hip-hop. Their afro-futuristic sound features original songs and arrangements from the Black American canon. They were finalists in NPR Detroit's (WDET) Sounds Like Detroit contest in 2025. Their first two albums came out in 2023 and 2024, and they've played festivals nationwide.
