Blue LLama Jazz Club and Restaurant

Old Fourth Ward

The Blue Llama pairs world-class jazz with Afro-Caribbean soul. James Beard winner JJ Johnson's menu brings jerk prawns, Yassa, and 72-hour brined chicken to a room where the acoustics are as carefully tuned as the musicians. Come for the horns, stay for the collard green salsa verde.

Tariq Gardner & Evening Star

May 2 at 7pm

Detroit drummer Tariq Gardner launches a cosmic "Space Odyssey" with Evening Star, weaving Detroit jazz roots through neo-soul, Afro-Cuban rhythms, spirituals, and hip-hop.
