MICHIGAN JAZZ SINGER BETTY JOPLIN TO BE HONORED
JAZZ ALLIANCE OF MID-MICHIGAN (JAMM) TO HONOR JACKSON NATIVE FOR THEIR SIXTH ANNUAL JAZZ TRIBUTE
(Lansing, MI) The Jazz Alliance of Mid-Michigan is proud to announce this year’s tribute will be devoted to singer and pianist Betty Joplin. Ms. Joplin is a native of Jackson, Michigan, and began singing and playing piano in church at age 7. She has performed with Arthur Prysock and has toured with the Duke Ellington Orchestra under the direction of Mercer Ellington. No less a talent than the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, has requested that Betty Joplin sing for her.
