DOORS @6PM, SHOWTIME @6:30PM

Jesse Palter is a pop-jazz powerhouse hailing from and based out of Detroit. During her college years at University of Michigan, Palter honed her stagecraft with several gigs throughout her home region of Detroit, leading The Jesse Palter Quartet to four years of prominent jazz awards at the Detroit Music Awards. She was selected to be part of Christian McBride’s Jazz Aspen program and had the chance to study and/or perform with greats like Geoffrey Keezer, Avishai Cohen, Sean Jones and Dianne Reeves.

Palter is backed by a stellar rhythm section featuring the soulful and hard-grooving trio in her latest release: Nothing Standard. The vibe she creates on this album harkens back to her early days in Detroit (“my home base,” she says) as a “music-obsessed 13 year old” hearing Miles Davis for the first time. True to the album title, the collection does not feature Great American Songbook standards. But Jesse clearly aspires to write songs with the intelligence, depth, and timelessness the standards represent.
