‘Kind of Blue’ Birthday Celebration (Miles Davis Centennial)
This week on Fridays Live, we celebrate both the anniversary of the best-selling jazz album of all time (Kind Of Blue was released on August 17, 1959) and the centennial of Miles Davis. The album is brought to life by an all-star cast of musicians that includes Patrice Rushen, Javon Jackson, Donald Harrison, Eddie Henderson, and Lenny White. Recorded on May 25, 2023, we bring this special concert out of the archive to homage to the trumpet legend, his hard bop quintet of the 1950s with John Coltrane, the iconic 1959 sextet session Kind of Blue, and the exploratory 1960s second quintet with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock.
