Miles Davis Centennial Celebration New York Performances

At Dizzy’s Club in New York City, the Future of Jazz Orchestra marks the Miles Davis centennial with a program shaped by saxophonist, flutist, and arranger Ted Nash. The collective, known for treating repertory as raw material, revisits Davis’s music as a living score rather than a museum piece. In a city where Davis’s bands helped redefine modern jazz on local stages and in local studios, the centennial reads as civic history. One clear point emerges: the arrangements test how far the language can stretch and still sound like Miles.
