SUMMARY:KEVIN BUJO JONES
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Jones is a percussionist\, band leader\, producer\, educator. A native of Englewood\, New Jersey\, Kevin grew up in a household immersed in jazz\, soul\, gospel and blues\, from Charlie Parker and Lou Rawls to Nat King Cole and Mahalia Jackson\, along with the pop and R&B legends of the times. Reportedly\, Kevin’s grandmother\, Maggie Walker Jones\, once played with (and maybe even recorded with) Bessie Smith. The arts of all types were nurtured in the Jones household and piano lessons were a requirement\, not an elective. \nJones traces his percussion expertise to the age-old ‘academy of the streets.’ Over the years Kevin has evolved an increasingly comprehensive approach to percussion\, commanding respect from artists such as the Isley Brothers\, Whitney Houston\, Winard Harper\, and Reggie \nWorkman. \nAt age 10 began Kevin showing interest in playing hand drums. Neighborhood drummers were prone to testifying on front lawns and park benches\, hand drums and various percussive enhancements in tow; their massaging\, pulsating\, skin-on-skins thoroughly hooked the \nimpressionable youngster. Among these master drummers were Marvin “Bugalu” Smith (Sun-Ra\, Archie Shepp\, Mal Waldron)\, Earl “Buster Smith (Eric Dolphy\,Sun-Ra)\, Karl Potter (The Isley Brothers\, Pino Daniele) and Babatunde Lea (Pharoah Sanders\, Leon Thomas)\, who all spent time with and made a long-lasting impression on the young Kevin’s life.

SUMMARY:KASAN BELGRAVE
DESCRIPTION:Multi-woodwind-instrumentalist and Detroit native Kasan Belgrave holds a unique stance in the city as one of the young torchbearers of the Detroit jazz collective.

Belgrave has shared the stage with many greats such as Nicholas Payton\, Barry Harris\, Benny Green\, Rodney Whitaker\, Theo Crocker\, Robert Hurst\, Karriem Riggins\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, and the Jazz @ Lincoln Center Orchestra w/ Wynton Marsalis. \nKasan has performed around the globe. He attended a jazz summer clinic that his father ran at the University of California-Berkeley in 2011\, where he met flautist Elena Pinderhughes\, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire\, and Walter Smith III. He traveled to Barbados in 2013\, along with saxophonist Marcus Elliott and pianist Ian Finkelstein\, where they performed a masterclass and concert sponsored by the U.S. Embassy. He’s performed frequently at the Detroit Jazz Festival\, as a sideman for Wendell Harrison\, Rob Pipho\, Rick Margitza\, Nicholas Payton\, and Detroit bassist Ali Bey. \nIn 2017\, he performed a duet with the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin in her last ever live Detroit performance at the Music Hall.
