Don Was is bringing his Pan-Detroit Ensemble to SPACE in Evanston for two performances on May 22. Don Was gives a new meaning to multitalented. His list of talents includes musician, multi-Grammy award-winning record producer, music director, film composer, documentary filmmaker, radio host and President of the celebrated jazz label Blue Note Records.
“Last October I gathered a group of musicians together,” Was said. “I knew all of them so it wasn’t that risky a proposition. Something crazy happened when we all got together. We all spoke the same language musically.” McMurray noted that he has played with Was on and off since they met. Once Was lured McMurray from Detroit to Los Angeles to play with the Rolling Stones.
McMurray described the Ensemble’s style as “unique. The song selection is very different—from rock to country.” Was’ career sounds like a juggling act but he explained that he learned a lesson about how to do that successfully when he interviewed Frank Sinatra in the 1960s.
