Jerome Ali

Born: August 13, 1959

Jerome received his first guitar from his mother when he was eleven years old. His Dad, the late Jimmy Ali sr was also a musician. Being a pianist, He encouraged Jerome to play by enticing him with songs by the great guitarist Wes Montgomery. Everything changed when he heard Jimi Hendrix. That experience prompted the beginning of many years of self-study that ultimately resulted in Jerome's ability to play and read music fluently. With no formal training, except a brief instruction with guitarist Earl Klugh, Jerome moved on to teach students of his own at M Studio in Detroit. Jerome's tribute to Hendrix was broadcast live on WDET-FM on September 16, 1977
