Jason Miles-kind Of New At Nublu at Nublu 151

About

As a composer, keyboardist, producer and arranger, Grammy-winner Jason Miles never fails to bring a boundless sense of curiosity and adventure to his projects. From extensive collaborations with such giants as Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn and Marcus Miller, to his own critically acclaimed recordings, New York native Miles has always been a restless seeker. For this show, Miles has adapted his studio craftsmanship to free-flowing small-group loosely inspired by the first electric bands that Miles Davis took on the road in the early 1970s. With the help of bassist Reggie Washinton, Gene Lake on drums, Jay Rodriguez on clarinet, and trumpeter Philip Dizack, “Kind of New’ delivers tightly argued themes over sparse riffs, declamatory shouts, and broody brass harmonies that come together to represent a new kind of jazz.
