Schedule
Miles Davis, one of the most recognisable figures in jazz history, would have celebrated his hundredth birthday in 2026. To mark the occasion, a star trumpet player in the world of contemporary jazz, Ambrose Akinmusire, has come together with the Brussels Jazz Orchestra to embark on a joint tour, honour the giant of the genre, pay tribute to his legacy, and go beyond it by creating new works and inventive arrangements that reimagine the Miles Davis’s genius in the context of modern jazz. Throughout his career, Davis was driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation, a spirit that continues to inspire new generations – including Akinmusire, born in 1982, who has collaborated with artists ranging from Brad Mehldau to Bill Frisell and rapper Kendrick Lamar. With this fresh program, he is seeking to push the boundaries of the genre once again.
