Sketches of Miles

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
In the 1960 album "Sketches of Spain," Miles Davis played classical and folk tunes arranged especially for him. Some 30 years later, composer Byron Olsen turned the tables with "Sketches of Miles" — which features Davis tunes re-imagined for chamber ensemble. We feature a top Davis hit, "All Blues," as represented by the group Music Amici.
