Jerome Ali

Bio
Jerome received his first guitar from his mother when he was eleven years old. His father encouraged him to play by enticing him with songs by the great guitarist Wes Montgomery. But everything changed when he heard Jimi Hendrix. That experience prompted the beginning of many years of self-study that ultimately
resulted in Jeromes 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, Michigan.
Jeromes tribute to Hendrix was broadcast live on WDET-FM on September 16, 1977. The broadcast led to his introduction to George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic.
In 1997, he left Detroit, and headed west for Las Vegas. Jerome knew he had a gift for playing and he wanted to share it with the world. He stepped out on faith, and has never regretted it.
Being new to Las Vegas, and knowing no one, Jerome took his guitar and a few business cards to a local jazz club to sit in.
Upon hearing him play, local musicians were in awe. It seems thats all it took.
From that point on, the phone constantly rang and Jerome was sought after by numerous bands around the city.
Jerome performed in several R&B bands and acted as musical director in others. But, the quest was on to form a jazz band.
When his twin brother bassist Jimmy Ali moved to Vegas in 2003, they formed The Brothers Ali Jazz Duo/ Trio performing at most of the major hotels/casinos on the Las Vegas Strip and convention center.
Jerome also has a gift as a songwriter and arranger. George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelics song Shes Crazy, dedicated to the late Jimi Hendrix, was written and produced by Jerome, as were many other songs that appear on the Warner Bros. and Casablanca label under George Clintons ~P. is the Funk~ c.d. series.
Jerome performs in Detroit, Houston and Las Vegas as a solo artist but is available as a duo or trio act if need be. Currently performs at several prestigious Country Clubs, Moran City Centre & Las Vegas Conventions.
He is also a musician for the Harmony in The Air music series at the Houston Bush Airport Houston, Texas.
