Conrad Herwig’s Latin Side of Miles and 'Trane New York Performances

At Dizzy’s Club, trombonist Conrad Herwig leads **Conrad Herwig’s Latin Side of Miles and ’Trane**, a New York–based project that reconsiders music associated with **Miles Davis** and **John Coltrane** through Latin rhythmic and harmonic frameworks. The set treats familiar repertoire as material for translation rather than tribute, shifting emphasis toward clave, percussion-driven momentum, and reharmonized brass writing. In a city where jazz and Afro-Caribbean music have long shared bandstands, the program reads as a local continuum. One clear takeaway is how naturally these compositions accommodate the added rhythmic architecture.
