About this event

Live jazz performance by the ensemble Talking Ear.

What to Expect

  • 1.Expect a tight live jazz set from Talking Ear with generous improvisation; listen for how the horn lines trade solos with the rhythm section.
  • 2.The Detroit Foundation Hotel lounge vibe tends to be intimate and relaxed—dress comfortably but casually polish, and try to grab a seat near the stage if you can.
  • 3.Drink service will come from the hotel bar, so plan to order cocktails or small plates to pair with the music and be mindful of peak times.
  • 4.Parking can be tight downtown—valet or nearby garages are likely your best bet; consider arriving 15–20 minutes early to settle in and avoid lines.
  • 5.If you’re new to jazz, listen for the groove in the bass and the swing of the drums, and keep conversations quiet during solos so everyone can hear the musicians clearly.
