The Miles Davis Experience October 19, 2011

In conjunction with Miles Davis Properties, LLC. and Blue Note Records, CAMI Music is developing a new immersive musical and historical production called: The Miles Davis Experience: 1949 to 1959.
Concept: Recapture the period, sound, historical and cultural context of this critical period of American history through the lens of jazz music and its most iconic innovator, Miles Davis. Targeted for those too young to have had the chance to experience this critical period’s work or those not lucky enough to have seen him performing in his time, the show includes live music performed in the manner it was first presented, with era photos and film clips brought together by a beat poet-style narrator.
By following Miles’ musical development in linear chronology, we will tell the story of post-war America, the challenges and optimism, the civil rights struggle, the historical milestones, and the creative cauldron of new music that Miles pioneered and nurtured. The show will be an immersivee experience — more than a concert, less narrow then a scripted play or media presentation. The goal is to leave the audience member with a feeling of what it was like to live in America during this important period.
The Miles Davis Experience: 1949-1959, recaptures the sound, historical and cultural context of this ciritical period of American History through the lense of jazz music and its most iconic innovator, Miles Davis. The tour will provide a good opportunity to reintroduce Miles to a younger audience and those unfamiliar with his legacy. It will also give the large base of his fans a chance to experience and celebrate his music in a new live setting.
