Event Description
plays the music of Miles Davis
May 26th is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Miles Davis, one of the most important players, composers, and band leaders in jazz. While known as a trumpeter, Miles’ influence extends way beyond his instrument and on more than one occasion has shaped the direction of modern music. In celebration the octet is going to perform selections from two of his earlier masterpieces.
For the first half of the program the octet will perform new arrangements taken from the seminal “Kind of Blue” album, and for the second half they will perform tunes from the wonderful “Birth of the cool” suite.
Led by one of Ireland’s foremost drummer’s the octet takes a look back to the 1950’s style associated with the west coast often called “Cool Jazz”, the origins which really began on the east coast with the seminal “Birth of the Cool” recordings, though they also plays hard bop classics by Horace Silver, Benny Golson and Tadd Dameron.
