Jazzhead on Detroit JazzStage

Welcome to the March edition of Detroit JazzStage featuring the music of Jazzhead and an interview with trumpeter John Douglas. Defying the muck of the “Acid Jazz” mire, Jazzhead has raged to the top of Detroit’s jazz/latin/funk/fusion heap and beyond. From holding down weekly offerings in downtown Motown to late-night (or early morning depending on your biorhythms) loft parties, the Jazzhead torrent has flushed the musically weak of heart from every corner of the Detroit scene.

Birthed as a 5-piece in November 1996, Jazzhead now boasts Trent Mitchell on bass, Duminie DePorres on guitar, Mick Dobday and Phil Hale on keyboards, Recardo (Ricky) Beamon and Ken Scott on drums. John Douglas, with his hefty trumpet and flugelhorn work, rounds out the front line assault. To this day, this horrifically funky line-up continues to hone it’s razor-sharp edge beat by funky beat.
