Don't miss Raul Midon at Jazz Cafe / Detroit Metro Times

Detroiters who chose to attend Raúl Midón's concert at the Music Hall's Jazz Cafe this Friday are in for a extraordinary treat. Midón's vocal and instrumental talents are breathtaking; his unique artistry transcends genre category, blending brilliant elements of Latin, jazz, flamenco and R&B. 

His debut album, State of Mind (Manhattan/EMI, 2005) received critical acclaim and includes a guest performance by his idol, Stevie Wonder and Jason Mraz. That year, Midón made his television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman. He was featured in the 2009 film Still Bill and his music has been used in films, including including the end credit soundtrack of Spike Lee's 2004 film "She Hate Me". Midón has enjoyed critical acclaim and enthusiast endorsement from a host of top musicians he has toured and collaborated with including Bill Withers, Al Jarreau, Sting, and Ravi Coltrane. Midon's  just released Bad Ass and Blind (Mack Records/Artistry, 2017) demonstrates a steady maturation, without a loss of his unmistakable energy and originality. He is bold enough to cover the broadest range of hits, from Steve Miller's "Fly Like and Eagle" to John Coltrane's jazz classic "Giant Steps." Forgive the cliche, but it's his own compositions that shine brightest.
