BBC Proms: Miles Davis Centenary
Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]Trumpeter, bandleader and composer Miles Davis transformed modern jazz with music that embraced the world around him – a new and exhilarating collage of modal scales, electronic and classical influences, expansive new structures and, of course, technical virtuosity.
