WDR Big Band In Concert

In the organizer's words:
WDR Big Band | Alan Broadbent

Exactly 65 years ago, in the spring of 1959, Miles Davis met with his quintet for the recording session of "Kind of Blue". The album became one of the best-selling albums in jazz history. But it was not the first (nor the last) time that Miles created a milestone with his visionary sound. Already in 1957 the record "Birth of the Cool" was released, already at that time Miles broke the boundaries of what had been heard until then and delivered with an extended instrumentation (including French horn and tuba!) novel melancholic-floating sound moments. When the WDR Big Band, together with New Zealand arranger and pianist Alan Broadbent, dedicates itself to Miles' almost immeasurably large oeuvre, the focus will be precisely on this decade. But the program also includes other and Broadbent's own compositions that demonstrate Miles' immense influence on subsequent generations.
