Sketches of Miles: Miles Davis at 100
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Press play on our curated playlist, then step into a night of bold brass, sweeping melodies, and big band energy as the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra celebrates the centennial of Miles Davis. Centered on his collaborations with arranger Gil Evans, this vibrant tribute highlights the era where Davis expanded his sound through rich orchestration, blending jazz with influences that reached well beyond the traditional bandstand.

Drawing on the spirit of albums like Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain, the music brings together cool jazz, reimagined themes, and touches of Spanish and classical inspiration, creating something layered, expressive, and full of character.

All of it comes to life in a setting that lets you feel the scale, color, and momentum of the music in real time. Start with the playlist, then join us for a night that’s as exciting as it is unforgettable.
