Detroit Golf Club Dinner Dance featuring
Straight Ahead Trio

Saturday, April 26, 6pm
Savor jazz while you dine and dance ’til you drop at the annual Palmer Woods Dinner Dance. The Detroit Golf Club will swing with the exciting sounds of Detroit’s “Grammy-Nominated Jazz Divas”—Marion Hayden, bass; Alina Morr, piano; Gayelynn McKinney, drums. Plus, a special party for children.
The MetroTimes describes Straight Ahead: "In 1990, the all-female jazz group Straight Ahead recorded their first album for Atlantic Jazz, Look Straight Ahead, which made the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart Top 20. In 1995, their third album, Dance of the Forest Rain, received rave reviews that includes Branford Marsalis, who called the group 'a monster outfit that truly swings!'
They have traveled extensively in the United States, the Caribbean and Europe. Straight Ahead has performed at the Montreaux-Switzerland Jazz Festival, the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, at the 1996 Olympics and BET on Jazz.
