WHO: MILES ELECTRIC BAND
An all-star group of jazz artists and Miles Davis alumni paying homage to Davis’ electric period of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Led by the legendary trumpeter’s nephew, drummer Vincent Wilburn, Jr. and trumpeter Sean Jones, who will play Davis’ parts on pieces from Jack Johnson, In a Silent Way and other classics with his own unique signature.
The band features many of the commanding musicians Davis tapped for his various jazz-rock ensembles, among them former Davis collaborator, keyboardist, and musical director Robert Irving III, and percussionist Munyungo Jackson, a veteran of multiple Miles Davis tours and recordings from the late 80s and early 90s, who are joined by saxophone ace Antoine Roney.
