Program information:
A century after his birth, Juilliard alum Miles Davis remains an unparalleled and defining force in jazz. The Juilliard Jazz Orchestra honors his legacy in an evening devoted to his ever-evolving artistry. With relentless devotion to his shifting creative instincts, Davis forged a path from bebop to third stream cool jazz, post-bop to electric fusion—challenging audiences and opening new musical horizons again and again.
Led by trumpet player and Juilliard alum and faculty member Tatum Greenblatt, the Juilliard Jazz Orchestra charts the dynamic progression of Miles Davis’ sound. The music moves from chamber-like intimacy to expansive orchestral colors, echoing the many phases of his career. Together, they paint a vivid portrait of a legendary artist whose uncompromising imagination continues to shape the sound of jazz today.
