Detroit Jazz Festival unveils 2024 artist lineup, led by artist-in-residence Brian Blade

The Detroit Jazz Festival Foundation on Wednesday announced the artist lineup for the 2024 Detroit Jazz Festival (DJF), which will be held in downtown Detroit on Labor Day weekend. As always, this festival will remain free to attend, and is, in fact, the world’s largest jazz festival that offers free entry.

Drummer, composer and bandleader Brian Blade was previously named the festival's 2024 Artist-in-Residence; he and his Fellowship Band will headline the festival.

Details were revealed in an invite-only preview event Wednesday evening, featuring a performance by Blade and The Fellowship Band, as well as the One-World Jazz Orchestra, a collaboration between the Berklee Global Jazz Institute and Wayne State University’s jazz program.

The event also served as a sneak peek at the new Gretchen C. Valade Jazz Center on the campus of Wayne State. It’s scheduled to open to the public this fall.

“This year’s lineup reflects a very dynamic and eclectic combination of next generation and legacy jazz musicians who reflect the diverse tapestry of jazz and its evolutions,” said Chris Collins, president and artistic director of the Detroit Jazz Festival Foundation. “We look forward to their energy and craftsmanship on our stages and seeing our faithful jazz fans in downtown Detroit on Labor Day weekend.”  

The Detroit Jazz Festival will be held in downtown Detroit, Aug. 30-Sept. 2. Here’s a list of this year’s lineup, with more local artists to be announced later:

•  2024 Artist-In-Residence Brian Blade

Cruise to the Edge 2024: Review

T he former King Crimson dudes couldn’t catch a break on Cruise to the Edge 2024, which sailed March 8-13. Still, it didn’t stop them from spreading the warm glow of prog on a cruise ship crammed with nerdy, obsessive fans often satisfied just seeing their idols peruse the buffet options.

At the Stardust Theater, the classiest venue on a Norwegian cruise ship sailing from Miami to Cozumel, Adrian Belew led his reliable trio through classic Crim finger-breakers and mood-shifting solo cuts — and he beamed generously from the stage throughout, even though his guitar malfunctioned through a sizable chunk of the set. Days later at the pool stage, Belew’s tech issues were even more aggressive: Between still-uproarious takes on “Frame By Frame” and “Young Lions,” the band scrambled for solutions that involved fresh batteries and compressor-pedal swaps.

Finally, a moment of collective transcendence bubbled up during the encore: Belew’s former Crimson bandmate Tony Levin — also onboard with his own trio, Stick Men — walked through the evening breeze to thunderous applause, carrying his trusted low-end machine, the Chapman Stick. But the tech problems seemed to linger during Discipline anthem “Elephant Talk” — you couldn’t hear his signature funky riff at all, at least toward the front of the crowd. (If only we could have located the retirement-age dude wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with “I Fix Stuff, and I Know Things.” This was his time to shine!)

There’s another sad irony here: During Stick Men’s set a couple days prior, Levin was forced to sit out entirely, his instrument having been somehow sent to the wrong storage area. (Keyboardist Adam Holzman admirably stepped in for a unique, more jazz-leaning set seemingly heavy on improv.) But again, even seeing these giants together onstage, doing their best to hammer out a prog staple, meant something to everyone in their presence.

But Cruise to the Edge isn’t strictly a nostalgia machine, even if it routinely churns out plenty. A perfect example is Steve Hackett : During his co-headlining Stardust set, the former Genesis guitarist continued to maneuver through that band’s epics (including a version of the 23-minute “Supper’s Ready” that nearly left one guy in the balcony with whiplash); but he also played a smattering of new solo tracks, and even the old stuff had a fresh coat of paint, courtesy of some clever arrangements (partly thanks to woodwind player Rob Townshend).

And the lineup has only grown more diverse — in terms of age and style — over the years. One minute, you could soak in the medieval folk-prog stylings of Gryphon, who once opened for Yes in the ’70s; the next, you could bask in the modern prog-metal majesty of Haken or the open-armed, symphonic-scale beauty of Big Big Train. (The latter’s theater show, part of the veteran band’s first-ever U.S. tour, was among the cruise’s obvious highlights — from the violin-led churn of “Folklore” through the tear-streaked grandeur of “Victorian Brickwork.”)

Loving prog in the 21st century often makes you feel like an outcast. Because of that fact, Cruise to the Edge still feels like some kind of weird sanctuary — one that will hopefully continue to evolve with that loosely defined genre itself. In 2024, no amount of annoyance — from technical glitches to mansplaining collectors at the lounge bar — could dampen the soothing strains of Minimoog.

British armoured vehicles seized in Ukraine have been placed on display in Moscow city centre.

A Saxon armoured personnel carrier was seen alongside a German Leopard tank in the city's Victory Park.

The open-air space is usually used as a commemoration of the Red Army's victory over Nazi Germany at the end of World War Two.

However, the museum has been transformed into a glorification of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

It comes ahead of the annual Victory Day parade

The month-long exhibit will also feature an American Bradley tank , a Swedish CV90 and a French-made AMX-10RC armoured fighting vehicle.

The captured vehicles were displayed beneath red banners reading "Our victory is inevitable" and are described as a celebration of Russia's success "against Ukrainian militants and their Western supporters."

Opening to visitors on May 1, the exhibition will run alongside Moscow's Red Square Victory Day Parade on May 9 in commemoration of the Soviet's victory against the Nazis.

Trucks transporting the captured military equipment from Nato nations donated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine were seen arriving at Poklonnaya Hill last week.

A similar event was held last year at Patriot Park near Moscow, where Russia also showcased a range of captured Western military equipment.

This includes an American-made M113 armoured personnel carrier and a fully intact French-made Storm Shadow cruise missile.

It comes as Ukrainian President Volodmir Zelensky issued a fresh plea to the international community to deliver more air defences, start formal talks for his country to enter the European Union, and invite Ukraine to join Nato.

Ukrainian forces face a worsening position in the east and await delivery of US weapons following the April 23 approval by Congress of a $61billion aid package after months of delay.

In a message to the Ukrainian people, he said: "We are still waiting for the supplies Ukraine was promised.

"We are expecting those volumes and scope that can change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine's interests.

On entry to the European Union, President Zelensky said Ukraine had met all conditions for accession talks to start, "and now the EU must meet its obligations".
