These evocative visuals, paired with bold musical improvisation and kinetic tap rhythms, create a multi-sensory experience that honors Miles’ artistry while reinventing it for new generations. Classic works from Miles Davis’ legendary catalog are interpreted by a stellar ensemble including trumpeter and cartoonist Dave Chisholm, pianist Greg Woodsbie, saxophonist Colin Gordon, bassist David Arenius, and drummer Aaron Staebell.
