Immerse yourself in everything Miles! This new multi-media musical production recaptures the historical and cultural context of this critical period of American sound through the lens of jazz music and its most iconic innovator.

The tribute features the celebrated trumpet player and winner of the 2007 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition, Ambrose Akinmusire, with his Quintet. The band stays true to the sound and feel of the original recordings, drawing from the most noted and accessible Miles tracks from 1949 and continuing through his Blue Note years, culminating in his masterpiece and commercial breakout, Kind of Blue.

Spoken-word drives the narrative in the style of the period, drawing from the noted poets of the era and the writers who influenced Miles. Images from performances and recording sessions will be projected as backdrops along with candid photos of Miles.
