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

Sketches of Miles: Miles Davis at 100 brings the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to the Jazz at Lincoln Center stage for a concert-length look at Davis’s centennial legacy. The program traces the Davis–Gil Evans collaborations, including the orchestral language associated with *Sketches of Spain*, filtered through the orchestra’s contemporary big-band discipline. Built as a group project rather than a solo showcase, the performance foregrounds ensemble color, sectional balance, and arranging as primary storytelling tools. The approach favors structure and clarity over spectacle.
