This night is inspired by Miles Davis’s landmark late 50s and early 60s large group collaboration with arranger Gil Evans that yielded four orchestral jazz classics including the seminal 1960 album Sketches of Spain, along with Porgy & Bess, Miles Ahead, and Quiet Nights.
Using these iconic recordings as a springboard, pianist and arranger Gil Goldstein has created new arrangements of this beloved music, focused around the trumpet artistry of Keyon Harrold with an expanded ensemble.
Hailed as “the future of the trumpet” by Wynton Marsalis and mentored by trumpeter Charles Tolliver, Harrold has established himself as an improviser, vocalist, songwriter, producer, and studio ace via his work on recordings by Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Gregory Porter, and Maxwell. Robert Glasper recruited him to supply the trumpet work in Don Cheadle’s Miles Davis biopic Miles Ahead, and his latest album and Concord Jazz debut Foreverland, was released last year.
A five-time GRAMMY winner, Gil Goldstein had formative experiences working with Gil Evans in the 1980s, appearing on four albums with the late maestro. He has lent his arraging skills to work with Pat Martino, Jim Hall, Abbey Lincoln, Billy Cobham, and Pat Metheny, among others, and contributed arrangements to the SFJAZZ Collective’s first three seasons devoted to the music of Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Herbie Hancock.
