UNLIMITED MILES: Miles Davis at 100 with John Beasley, Sean Jones, Marcus Strickland, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ben Williams, Terreon Gully

GRAMMY®-winning pianist, composer, and music director John Beasley leads an extraordinary all-star ensemble honoring the musical evolution and enduring influence of Miles Davis. Unlimited Miles: Miles Davis at 100 journeys through Davis’ groundbreaking creative eras — from Birth of the Cool and Kind of Blue to his revolutionary electric and fusion years.

The evening continues with a high-energy jam session featuring the Leimert Park Jazz Festival Emerging Artists Collective, showcasing 13 outstanding musicians from Leimert Park Jazz Festival’s popular Sunday Jazz monthly concert series. Inspired by Miles Davis’ commitment to nurturing new talent, this culminating performance celebrates the next generation of jazz innovators through collaboration, improvisation, and creative exchange.

What you’ll experience on The Ford stage is rooted in the same spirit that defines the Sunday Jazz series each month — jazz, community, and culture.
