The 29th annual Detroit International Jazz Festival will be celebrating the City of Brotherly Love throughout the Labor Day weekend, with Philadelphia-born bassist Christian McBride as the festival's artist-in-residence, a gaggle of artists from both cities, and several special projects. Most notably, there will be a tribute to the late Alice Coltrane, a Detroit native who became the wife and collaborator of saxophonist John Coltrane, one of the greatest geniuses of modern jazz.
