Miles Davis Prestige Years

Hailed as “one of the greatest interpreters of Miles Davis’ work in Canada” (Hamilton Spectator), multi award-winning trumpet iconoclast Brownman Ali leads a tribute to a pivotal chapter in Miles’ history. From 1951 to 1956, Miles would record a string of groundbreaking albums for Prestige Records, including Cookin’, Relaxin’, Workin’, and Steamin’ — music that blended bebop virtuosity with a cool, lyrical sensibility that reshaped modern jazz. Brownman and a selection of top-shelf jazz artists will explore these recordings channeling the intensity and innovation of Miles’ early genius. :: Brownman Ali – trumpet (JUNO nominee) :: Nick Maclean – keyboard (JUNO nominee) :: Duncan Hopkins – upright bass (JUNO nominee) :: Frank Botos – drums (JUNO nominee)
