Now Playing:
HomeBASS features some of Detroit’s finest jazz players. Among the all-star
ensemble are trumpet player Rayce Biggs, pianist Henry Gibson, drummer Gayelynn McKinney, vocalist Audrey Northington and one non-Detroiter popped into the mix—Sicilian guitarist Toty Viola. The energy and musicianship, as on the cut “Miles We Have to Go,” is Detroit fusion at its best.
Feature Spotlight
Sean Dobbins
Southeastern Michigan jazz drummer Sean Dobbins has been the most active sideman on the local scene during the first decade of the new millennium for good reason. A facile, limber, inventive, and playful musician who adds extreme value to any band, his happy persona and zest for life easily translate into every performance.
