SATURDAY 12 | When Miles Davis released Kind Of Blue in 1959, it was to become the album that defined jazz: a universally recognised standard of excellence. In just two recording sessions at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio in New York, one of the greatest bands in history – Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb – achieved the pinnacle of modal jazz. Tonight, the GTS Jazz Sextet will recreate the entire album. Their renditions of So What, Freddie Freeloader, Blue in Green, All Blues, and Flamenco Sketches are all based on the original transcripts in a bid to replicate Miles’ recording session. Bring your jazz hands.
