Miles Davis 100th Celebration: Jazz Musician in New York

About Miles Davis 100th Celebration

Miles Davis 100th Celebration is a centennial tribute project heard at New York City’s Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, built around the Eddie Henderson Quintet with guests Gary Bartz and Billy Hart. The program traces Davis’s wide arc through cool jazz, hard bop, fusion, and ballad repertoire, using arrangements that leave space for individual histories to surface. Hart brings the seasoned time feel of decades alongside bandleaders from Herbie Hancock to Stan Getz; Bartz carries a sharper edge shaped by work across idioms. The approach favors line and ensemble interplay over spectacle.
