This special centennial program keeps one foot rooted in the rich legacy of Miles Davis while the other leaps boldly into the future. Under the direction of award-winning pianist and composer John Beasley, this all-star sextet delves into the visionary spirit and boundless creativity of Davis, exploring the vast directions his music continues to inspire. Beasley’s arrangements will cover each decade of Davis’ chameleonic career. The ensemble includes Sean Jones on trumpet, Mark Turner on saxophone, Kurt Rosenwinkel on guitar, John Beasley on piano, Ben Williams on bass, and Terreon Gully on drums.
