BEYOND JAZZ with Malik Alston & The Linwood Ensemble
About this Event
Alston is a musical devoteé, whether he’s DJing or performing live, Alston's work weaves uplifting Black music with themes of faith and community. From early years singing in church and community choirs to collaborating on productions with Amp Fiddler, Roy Davis Jr., Alton Miller and many others, Alston’s musical knowledge goes deep.
"Beyond Jazz" is a 4-part album series showcasing Alston’s spiritual soul & jazz-inflected house & dance constructions, born out of Alston’s long-standing radio show that bears the same name. Serving as our welcome show to music fans attending the 2026 annual Detroit Jazz Festival, Moondog Café is thrilled to honor Malik Alston’s unique legacy as a Detroit music-maker.
He’ll be joined by the latest iteration of The Linwood Ensemble which includes his wife Badriyyah on vocals & auxiliary percussion, Damon Williams on drums, Ben Green on trumpet & wind synth, Rafael Leafar on sax, flute and EWI and Tim Shellabarger on bass. Trust this band will go OFF … so come prepared for the ecstatic vibrations!
Doors open at 8pm with sets beginning at 9pm and 10pm.
