Jazz at the MACC: Music of Miles Davis

Jazz at the MACC: Music of Miles Davis

Sponsored in part by Robert Opatrny & Susan Sutherland; Victor & Jackie Solomon

The Gulf Coast Jazz Collective opens it’s 3rd season with the music of one the Jazz world’s most important innovators – Miles Davis. Miles took part in almost every era of jazz including bebop, hard bop, cool jazz and fusion. As usual, the Collective will put their own twist on Miles’ music. That means high energy, excitement, and a ton of fun. The show features the phenomenal trumpeter James Suggs, who hails from St. Petersburg, Florida, to play the role of Miles. The show also features Tampa Bay saxophonist Aaron West in the roles of Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, and John Coltrane.
