Every vocalist who stepped to the microphone, every musician who played a note, every host, poet, photographer, sound engineer, volunteer, partner, and supporter became part of this story. September 10th is our opportunity to bring that family together, celebrate what we have accomplished, and look toward what comes next.”The evening will be both a celebration of the past and a glimpse into the future of The Preservation of Jazz.Artists, supporters, jazz lovers, friends, family, and members of Detroit’s creative community are invited to join us for this very special occasion.EVENT DETAILSThe Preservation of Jazz Appreciation Ceremony & Live Music Showcase📅 Thursday, September 10, 2026📍 Aretha’s Jazz Café at Music Hall350 Madison StreetDetroit, Michigan🚪 Doors Open: 6:00 PM🎶 Ceremony & Showcase: 7:00 PM🎟️ Tickets: $35🎤 Hosted by: Mike Bonner✨ Presented & Curated by: Sky Covington☎️ Information: 248-383-3385Come celebrate the voices, musicians, visionaries, and beautiful community that have helped keep jazz alive.. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/detroit/the-preservation-of-jazz-appreciation-ceremony-and-jazz-showcase/100001998129959497 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, live-music, literary-art, concerts, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Aretha's Jazz Cafe - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Detroit - **state**: MI - **country**: United States - **location**: Aretha's Jazz Cafe - **lat**: 42.3372254 - **long**: -83.0458328 - **full address**: Aretha's Jazz Cafe, 350 Madison Street, Detroit, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Preservation of Jazz Appreciation Ceremony & Jazz Showcase - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/bd40e9ac3664c7e8c312b97afbfa4958e9733d9d821ea34f9579d22e1dc6e406-rimg-w1200-h1553-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1787116585 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Preservation of Jazz Appreciation Ceremony & Jazz Showcase being held? - **A:** The Preservation of Jazz Appreciation Ceremony & Jazz Showcase takes place on Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm at Aretha's Jazz Cafe, 350 Madison Street, Detroit, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Preservation of Jazz Appreciation Ceremony & Jazz Showcase? - **A:** The Preservation of Jazz Appreciation Ceremony & Jazz Showcase is organized by The Preservation of Jazz. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
