The Alluvion's deep connection with the musical legacy of Detroit continues to grow stronger as we proudly present a special film screening of: The Best of the Best: Jazz from Detroit
So many of Detroit’s Jazz legends have filled our stage. It is a reflection of the culture that The Alluvion is nurturing, inspired by the city’s vibrant music scene. Together, we celebrate the roots of this music and the new sounds still taking shape.
THE BEST OF THE BEST
“There is no city that has had as much to do with the development of American musical culture as Detroit.”
This documentary weaves a compelling historical and cultural tapestry connecting Detroit’s innovative and influential jazz legacy, the city’s dramatic rise and fall as an industrial power, and the struggles and triumphs of its resilient African American community.
From legends like Elvin Jones and Yusef Lateef, to contemporary stars like Regina Carter and Kenny Garrett, you can’t tell the history of jazz without telling the history of jazz from Detroit and the profound tradition of mentorship nurturing Detroit jazz since the 1950s.
Post-screening Q-and-A with the film's writer and co-producer Mark Stryker
