The Miles Davis Experience

A collaboration with Blue Note Records
featuring the Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet
October 8, 2011

A new immersive musical production, The Miles Davis Experience recaptures the sound and the historical and cultural context of this critical period of American history through the lens of jazz music and its most iconic innovator, Miles Davis.

The Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet will stay close to Davis' sound and feel, culminating in his masterpiece and commercial breakout Kind of Blue. Historical images of performances, recording sessions, and candid photos of Miles will be used as integral backdrops at the concert.
