MILES FROM INDIA –
A CELEBRATION OF MILES DAVIS’ MUSIC

This world premiere concert features musicians from the groundbreaking CD Miles… From India (released April 15). The line-up is comprised of musicians who have recorded or performed with Miles Davis over the span of five decades including Ron Carter, Wallace Roney, Lenny White, Pete Cosey, Badal Roy, and Benny Reitveld. Classical and jazz musicians from India including Louiz Banks, Gino Banks, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Ravi Chary, Sridhar Parthasarathy, and Kala Ramnath will join them. These musicians from two separate continents come together in this cross-cultural summit meeting – putting a provocative pan-global-spin on such Miles classics as All Blues, Spanish Key, So What, It’s About That Time and Jean Pierre. Sitar and tablas, ghatam and khanjira, mridangam and Carnatic violin blend seamlessly with muted trumpet and saxophones, screaming electric guitar and grooving electric bass lines, piano, upright bass and drums in this profound fusion of Indian classical and American jazz.
