Music of Miles Davis’ ‘Kind of Blue’
An all-star band including saxophonist Javon Jackson, trumpet giant Eddie Henderson, and Miles Davis band alumnus Lenny White unite for concert #3 of the Miles Davis Centennial Celebration, looking back to the trumpeter’s epochal hard bop ensembles of the 50s and 60s. This salute to Miles’s hugely influential mid-career music includes material associated with his first quintet of the 1950s with John Coltrane and Red Garland, the iconic 1959 sextet session Kind of Blue, and the exploratory 1960s second quintet with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock featured on the Columbia Jazz masterpieces Miles Smiles, Nefertiti, and E.S.P., among others.
