SUMMARY:Ben Sharkey
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n**************************************************************************************************​\nOne of Detroit’s premiere live entertainers over the past ten years plus\, Ben Sharkey infuses his live performances with a hip and sultry fire\, bringing his artful swagger to the stage with a\ncolorful fusion of old school cool\, contemporary jazz\, soul and pop. Since the charismatic\nvocalist posted his first raw home videos of himself singing Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra\nclassics to YouTube in 2007\, he has amassed over 5 million views worldwide for over 70 clips. \nBy increasingly popular demand\, the Michigan native has amassed hundreds of performances at jazz hotspots like Cliff Bell’s and a five year and counting residency at the Axis Lounge at the MGM Grand Detroit. He’s been compared to everyone from Frank and Buble to Dean Martin\, Mel Torme and Harry Connick\, Jr. – yet he’s evolved from being a stellar vocal interpreter to master storyteller and songwriter. \nCollaborating with his pianist Chris Codish\, Ben has written clever\, crafty tunes expressing every aspect of love\, deep heartfelt connections and the sheer joy of living life to the fullest in the sexiest\, naughtiest\, most sensual and playful way possible. Stylistically\, he lets his muse lead the way to booming percussion driven landscapes infused with jazz\, pop\, swing\, R&B\, Latin and crisp\, edgy house-dance beats that make him the ultimate contemporary hipster as well as a masterful throwback artist.

SUMMARY:Alex Harding & Organ Nation
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n*********************************************************************************** \nDetroit-born baritone saxophonist Alex Harding first became active in jazz circles in his youth. Early on he studied with established jazz figures Yusef Lateef and Beans Bowles and was playing gigs with Donald Byrd and Wynton Marsalis before he was out of high school. Throughout the ’90s\, 2000s\, and 2010s\, Harding toured\, performed\, and recorded without pause\, collaborating with countless names in both jazz and pop circles that included everyone from the Marshall Allen-led Sun Ra Arkestra to work with David Lee Roth. \nHarding was born in 1967 in Detroit\, Michigan. After hearing Grover Washington\, Jr. as a kid\, he took up tenor saxophone\, eventually switching over to baritone in high school. Though sax was his primary instrument\, he would occasionally double on bass clarinet. He was already performing regularly around Detroit in his teenage years while studying with local jazz greats. By his early twenties he was performing internationally. He left Detroit for New York in the early ’90s\, joining Julius Hemphill’s Saxophone Sextet and performing around town with Lester Bowie\, Frank Lacy\, Hamiet Bluiett’s Baritone Group\, the Mingus Big Band\, and many others. He also took part in shows and festival appearances with the Sun Ra Arkestra and the Roy Hargrove Big Band. He recorded multiple albums with longtime friend pianist Lucian Ban\, including 2002’s Somethin’ Holy and a 2008 collaboration between the two friends and Romanian electronic musician Silent Strike entitled 3am. In the late 2000s he joined the Broadway production of FELA!!! both in New York and on tour. He eventually returned to Detroit\, but stayed incredibly active in the studio and on the road. Harding and Ban reunited in 2019 for another collaborative album\, Dark Blue. \n

SUMMARY:James Carter Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n************************************************************************************** \n\n\nJames Carter brings his energetic musical experience to Cliff Bell’s to bring the spirit of the holidays and jazz with this special show. Mr. Carter will bring a special guest artist to perform with his esteemed trio to present a show you will want to be here for.   \n“You have to be totally comfortable wherever\,” Carter says. “I feel that music equals life\, that’s the way my teacher always taught me. You just can’t go through life and experience it fully with a set of blinders on. I think there’s tremendous beauty in cross-pollinations of music and influences.”  \nIn many ways\, weaving together divergent impulses is at the heart of Carter’s music. Like the late tenor sax titan Ben Webster\, he’s given to furious\, high-velocity solos\, but is just as likely to wax sentimental\, using his big\, bruising tone to tenderly caress a comely melody. In 2000\, he released two albums simultaneously that amounted to an anti-manifesto\, a proclamation that everything is fair game. \nThe organ combo reigned for several decades as jazz’s meat-and-potatoes mainstay\, a populist vehicle for blues-drenched blowing. In the hands of James Carter\, one of jazz’s most sophisticated improvisers\, the organ trio is no less meaty and satisfying. But his virtuosic saxophone chops elevate the organ combo to a rarefied realm defined by delectable soul\, a gourmet repertoire\, and consistently inspired group interplay. \nFeaturing the lithe and muscular keyboard work of Detroit’s rising B3 star Gerard Gibbs and the propulsive drum support of Motor City trap master Alex White\, the multigenerational James Carter Organ Trio is now in its seventeenth year. \n\n\n \nMore information HERE!
