"[What] Miles Davis intended...spacious, black-magic stealth funk."—The New York Times


A stunning cast of acclaimed musicians reveals the epic legacy of Miles Davis' landmark album on the 40th anniversary of its release. Bitches Brew, Davis' pioneering work with electronic music, was, in 1970, an augur of jazz's cross-genre evolution and is, today, hailed by some audiophiles as the greatest jazz and rock album ever made. A who's who of jazz, hip–hop and rock artists pack the stage, led by cornetist Graham Haynes, a major force in con­tem­po­rary elec­tron­ic and world music. The inimitable Marco Benevento em­ploys ped­als, am­pli­fiers, cir­cuit bent toys and sundry ef­fects around his acous­tic piano set-up. The revered innovator DJ Logic, pi­o­neer­ing gui­tarist Vernon Reid (erstwhile leader of mul­ti-plat­inum rock band Liv­ing Colour), cross cultural percussionist Adam Rudolph, in-demand saxophonist and clarinetist Antoine Roney and Melvin Gibbs, "the best bassist in the world" (Time Out New York), all conspire to create a supernatural night that will leave devotees, skeptics and neophytes charmed and reeling, happily, back into the future of jazz.
