Michael Zaporski
Michael Zaporski, a pianist blending American jazz with West African rhythms, played at Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Pointe Farms on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. His experience with jazz legends added richness to the evening’s performance.
Michael Zaporski’s music combines American jazz traditions with West African-inspired rhythms, shaped by his time with the late Detroit saxophonist Sam Sanders. Supported by the U.S. State Department, he performed and taught jazz in West Africa and collaborated with icons like Jackie McLean and Art Blakey. Leading his band FutureVisions and performing with the Planet D. Nonet, Zaporski has delivered energetic shows featuring African rhythms and haunting melodies. The audience at Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe got to experience his sophisticated, vibrant jazz firsthand.
