"Miles From India"

In the ’70s, Miles Davis took jazz into uncharted territory, mixing rock, jazz and world rhythms with an all-star band. That same collaborative spirit reigns in Miles from India, an acclaimed CD and singular concert experience featuring Miles Davis veterans (Roy, Cosey), Indian classical musicians, and contemporary jazz trail-blazers (Mahanthappa)— plus many more artists to be announced soon. Called “a boldly expansive” show by The New York Times, this Bob Belden– produced celebration of Miles Davis' music and influence returns to S.F. on the heels of a sold out Spring Season performance.This show features some of the jazz world's greatest musicians from the US and India, including, Sridhar Parthasarathy (mridangam/kanjira), Kala Ramnath (violin), Ravi Chary (sitar), Gino Banks (percussion), Bob Belden (conductor/arranger) - and the previously announced Ron Carter (bassist), Lenny White (drummer), Wallace Roney (trumpet), Pete Cosey (saxophone), Badal Roy (tabla), Rudresh Mahanthappa (saxophone), Benny Reitveld (electric bass) and Louiz Banks (keyboards).
