After nearly a century of cultural influence, the University of Michigan Detroit Center invites you to find out how jazz still plays an active and impactful role in Detroit’s community.
On Thursday, August 27 from 6:30 – 8 p.m., the U-M Detroit Center is proud to present, “Detroit Jazz: Music Bridging a Community.” Open to the general public, this event includes complimentary admission, parking and light refreshments for all attendees.
