Trevor Lamb will join The Henry Ford Big Band for a magnificent performance on January 18th, 2025. They have selected a wonderful program of music that covers the gambit of the jazz idiom from Duke Ellington to Carla Bley and everything else in-between. Plus, a few tunes will feature the powerful vocal stylings of Oliva Van Goor. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session for any and all questions to be asked.

Based in Detroit, Trevor began his music career at Wayne State University. He maintains several projects including the “Eat It Up Trio” performing regularly around Detroit, and several jam sessions held weekly at various venues with the goal of cultivating local talent in the metro Detroit region. Trevor has toured internationally in Japan, where he not only showcased his own talent but also hosted clinics for university students there. Trevor has a strong passion for the Detroit jazz scene, and he expresses that in his art.

The show will take place January 18th, 2025, at 7:00 PM in the Adray Auditorium, located in the MacKenzie Fine Arts Center (Building F) at Henry Ford College.

On Tuesday, December 31, WHFR's SPIRITS REJOICE program will extend to six hours to say goodbye to the year 2024. Between the hours of 4-10pm EST, we will feature the program's favorite jazz and free improv recordings of 2024 and, unfortunately, say goodbye in tribute to the late great bassist BARRE PHILLIPS.

Mr. Philiips just passed away at the age of 90. He is known for his brilliantly creative approach to the double bass, quite often in solo and duo contexts. His work as a leader as well as in collaboration with many of the great free improvisers of the world will be featured in this special edition of Spirits Rejoice. We will also explore some of the fine jazz and free improv recordings of 2024 in retrospect, as we head into the year 2025.

SPIRITS REJOICE is heard weekly on Tuesdays via 89.3 FM in the Dearborn/Detroit area and worldwide via the internet at whfr.fm
