Kind of New, Kind of Blue: A Tribute To Miles Davis

Saturday, October 18th, 2025 at 7:00 pm9:00 pm

$20.00 – $50.00
Step into the spirit of Miles Davis with Kind of New, Kind of Blue—a concert experience that bridges past and present.
The first half of the evening reimagines Miles’ legacy through fresh eyes, featuring original compositions and bold arrangements by bandleader and trumpeter DESHANNON HIGA, inspired by the restless innovation that defined Miles’ career. From simmering grooves to lyrical ballads, this set captures the essence of Miles’ creative fire—always moving forward, never standing still.
In the second half, the band brings you back to 1959 with a complete performance of Kind of Blue, the most iconic jazz album of all time. Every note, every space, every breath—relived and re-experienced in the moment, a live needle-drop of the entire record, cover to cover.
Kind of New, Kind of Blue isn’t just a tribute—it’s a conversation between generations, where innovation meets tradition, and timeless music proves its power to inspire again and again.
