‘Miles Ahead’ Panel To Be Held At SXSW Music March 17

The life and legacy of internationally renowned music icon Miles Davis will be celebrated at SXSW in honor of his 90th birthday. A special Miles Ahead panel led by Don Cheadle, with NPR’s Felix Contreras onboard as Moderator, will discuss the making of the film, along with the music, with intimate behind-the-scenes anecdotes provided by Erin Davis (son of Miles) and Vince Wilburn, Jr. (nephew of Miles).

Additional speakers include Grammy Award-winning artist Robert Glasper, who scored the film’s soundtrack and produced the forthcoming Miles Davis remix project; Oscar-winning supervising sound editor, re-recording mixer and sound designer Skip Lievsay; and Grammy Award-winning artist Keyon Harrold, a sought out trumpeter/producer/arranger/songwriter who performs with GRAMMY-winning group D’Angelo and The Vanguard, and is featured as the trumpet sound of Don Cheadle playing Miles Davis.

This session will take place on Thursday, March 17 at 12:30pm in ACC Room 18ABC.

Miles Ahead will screen on Wednesday, March 16 at Paramount Theatre and Saturday, March 19 at Stateside Theatre.
