Andre Wickenheiser - A VERY SPECIAL CELEBRATION OF MILES DAVIS' 100TH
The Attic, 1413 - 9th Ave. S.E., Calgary, AB, T2G 0T4, Calgary, AB
🎷 Scott Morin Presents: Jazz at The Attic, Season II 🎷 Sponsored by JazzYYC and Whats Good Calgary
There's not much to say about Miles Davis that hasn't been said before. An artist that would have turned 100 this May, he still remains a singular figure in the history of jazz and social music who helped re-define music (in his words) 'five or six times' in an unmatched, 40+ year career. Over his 40+ year career, he pioneered multiple genres and constantly pushed the boundaries of jazz, funk, rock, electronic and Black American Music in general.
The word genius is thrown around a lot in music. But there is no question that Miles Davis personified this moniker and earned every letter in the too-often dropped noun.
Andre Wickenheiser is in a word, gifted. His approach to jazz improvisation on the trumpet and his beautiful tone are qualities that made the acoustic side of Miles the envy of every trumpet player who has picked up the horn.
