Music: Jazz/Blues Miles from India

  • Miles_davis_by_palumbo_large

Jazz producer Bob Belden spearheaded the series of deluxe reissues of Miles Davis' Columbia albums, which came to a close with last year's six-CD bounty, The Complete on the Corner Sessions. Of course, Davis' genius reached beyond the purview of his official studio releases, so Belden recently organized the Miles from India tribute to acknowledge the trumpeter's interest in cross-cultural musical exchange. Some of the record's key contributors — including star bassist Ron Carter and tabla player Badal Roy — come together for tonight's performance, which melds traditional jazz and Indian instrumentation to Davis tunes like "So What" and "Spanish Key."
