What we’re about
Finally, a meetup for jazz musicians and jazz enthusiasts in Detroit and surrounding areas!
Some other forms of music may be represented here also (classical, some blues, and some latin-based music) but this group is designed mainly for jazzers.
Certain charities and/or charitable events may be represented here also, if they collaborate with some jazz group or groups.
