JUNE
June 22nd 2022. Terry Seabrook's Milestones play Kind of Blue.
Miles Davis and his sidemen made musical history when they recorded
the iconic album Kind of Blue. They created a unique atmosphere of understated
themes and improvisation and Kind of Blue went on to become one of the
greatest and best loved jazz recordings of all time. More than sixty
years on, Terry Seabrook has assembled an all-star sextet, Milestones,
to revisit the album and celebrate the music of Miles Davis. The band
has toured extensively at clubs and festivals around the U.K. The line-up
reads like a who's who of British jazz, with the fabulous Martin Shaw
taking on the Miles role. The band pays due respect to Miles' original
music whilst allowing the musicians to showcase their own brilliance
and improvisational skills. Martin Shaw - Trumpet; Alan Barnes - Alto
sax; Andy Panayi - Tenor sax; Terry Seabrook - Piano; Spike Wells -
Drums; Paul Whitten - Bass
