Sunday June 1st, 2008: I had the chance to see and hear something very special. No flash photos could be taken, so my little CamPhone snaps will have tell the story of people swaying to the jazzy beat, as lines of culture blur into the rich harmonics of Miles from India.
The music of the late great Miles Davis was combined with sounds and flavors from India. Grand Performances is an outdoor venue in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, honestly it is one of the best free venues in the nation. Several thousand came down to join the new fusion groove. Can't forget Sir Miles Davis created that style. He was the father of cool, and fusion. Darn, he was an amazing artist; the trumpet master had flow...
Ron Carter on bass, Miles's nephew Vince Wilburn on drums, Wallace Roney on Trumpet and old school jazz producer Bob Beldon directed the talent. And, there was a crew of Indian musical artists that created a strange blend and flavor of jazz.. how cool!
Truly a wonderful way to bridge culture, and advance it with music, and a real tight community vibe.
Classic tunes like So What and In a Silent Way... Miles must be all smiles. Still, many years after his death; the Man with the horn is still Miles Davis.
I guess soon you will be able to add this to your music collection; so, please find Times Square Records which is headed by Yusuf Gandhi. Music produced by Bob Beldon.
Thanks for the visit.
