Chris Ingham, the highly rated jazz pianist, raconteur, music writer and arranger, brings his mighty sextet, REBOP to Boisdale of Canary Wharf for their venue debut concert.
They first delighted a large 2020 London Jazz Festival audience, and then three later Spring 2022, 2023 and 2024 concerts to sold-out Soho audiences, to capture the music, the spirit and soul - from one seminal decade - of the all-time jazz great, Miles Davis
During the early 1950s Miles Davis managed to record albums that rank among his best,
In 1954, Davis embarked on a two-decade period during which he was considered the most innovative musician in jazz. He formed classic small groups in the 1950s that featured saxophone legends John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley, pianists Red Garland and Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummers “Philly” Joe Jones and Jimmy Cobb.
Miles capped this period of his career with Kind of Blue (1959), perhaps the most celebrated album in the history of jazz. A mellow, relaxed collection, the album includes the finest recorded examples of modal jazz, a style in which improvisations are based upon sparse chords and nonstandard scales rather than on complex, frequently changing chords.
Chris Ingham’s REBOP, visits Miles Davis’s fertile decade when the legendary trumpeter/bandleader set the standard for exciting small group modern jazz, resonant orchestral jazz and haunting modal jazz. Featuring timeless music from classic albums Workin’, ‘Round About Midnight, Miles Ahead, Milestones, Kind of Blue et al.
REBOP, perform the music of Miles Davis, with their own character and improvisations, featuring proven jazz masters.
