Straight Ahead

Out of Detroit’s lively jazz scene, which has produced some of the best musicians in the world, comes the Grammy-nominated jazz group Straight Ahead. Straight Ahead broke new ground for women in the recording industry as the first all-woman jazz band signed to Atlantic Records. A group of strong, inventive instrumentalists and vocalists, they have shown themselves to be powerful and imaginative composers and arrangers.

Widely recognized for their eclectic and soulful approach to creating music, the Straight Ahead sound ranges comfortably from jazz, to Latin music and jazzy hip-hop.  Their live performances are a dynamic celebration of power and joy with a wide range of musical textures, moods and tempos.
