THE JAZZ CAFE DISCOVERY SERIES WITH JUDY ADAMS
Sunday 11/4 from 2-5pm
Sin Hielo
Sin Hielo is a new musical project that starts with guitar giants Wayne Gerard & Sean Blackman - and often includes other accomplished guest artists -and tours the nation. The band is based in Detroit, and has created a new sound of Latin/jazz/rock.
Blackman is a powerful, acoustic nylon-string world music guitarist. Gerard is an electric guitarist jazz virtuoso. The third musician, Rick Beamon, who plays jaw-dropping percussion, is known as one of the best in the business.
Blackman and Gerard, who head Sin Hielo, are individually successful, established, award-winning artists.
But just last year, in 2011, the two talents came together and formed Sin Hielo - a unique, exciting Latin/rock/jazz project that quickly caught fire; performing up to a dozen shows a week in just Detroit alone. The band's Spanish name represents both the new hot sound its has created and the sexy clientele that has jumped on the band's touring party vardo.
DJ Judy Adams will create a perfect mood for a Sunday afternoon of music…mixing an array of creative artists representing various styles, time periods from around the globe….
Adams’ radio/DJ career began in 1969 paralleling the evolution of contemporary music, as we know it. She introduced Detroit audiences in the early 70s to world music, electronic, contemporary jazz, art rock, reggae/dub and more. This comes to the table in her mixes, which also utilize her knowledge of music theory and composition. She has worked at WRIF and WDET, and is currently at CJAM 99.1. Her work as a composer has been keeping her busy lately and she hopes to have a CD out soon.
The Café will be serving luncheon fare from the award-winning Mudgie’s Deli in Corktown plus special drinks and Judy’s own coffee blend. For more information: JazzCafeDetroit.com.
