Kind of Now: The Pulse of Miles Davis

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Dizzy’s Club, drummer Greg Hutchinson brings his ensemble Kind of Now to a program shaped by the repertoire and arranging ideas that tracked Miles Davis across multiple eras. The set treats Davis less as a fixed style than as a working method, following his shifts as a trumpeter and bandleader and his collaborations, including the orchestral-minded partnerships associated with Gil Evans. In a city where Davis’s bands helped define modern jazz onstage and on record, the project reads as a study in change. One clear takeaway is how rhythm can carry an entire aesthetic argument.
