Russ Macklem Detroit Quintet
Russ Macklem, trumpet player, composer, and educator based in Detroit and Windsor, performed on Friday, March 28, at 6 p.m. at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Pointe Farms. His quintet, known for headlining the 2024 Detroit Jazz Festival, brought their live show to the club.
Russ Macklem is a trumpet player with roots in Canada who’s made a name for himself around Detroit and Windsor with his JUNO-nominated 2023 live debut, The South Detroit Connection. His quintet, featuring saxophonist Kasan Belgrave—whose father Marcus Belgrave was a Detroit jazz legend—headlined the 2024 Detroit Jazz Festival. They regularly play first Fridays at MotorCity Wine in Detroit’s Corktown, but took over the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe on March 28 for a night of jazz. Macklem earned his Doctor of Musical Arts at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music and studied further in Montreal and Boston. His music blends tradition and modernity, making for an engaging show to see live.
