Produced by Miller, the concert will pay homage to each decade of Davis' ever-evolving soundscape. Twenty years after his death, American musical genius Miles Davis is as omnipresent as ever. From museum-worthy reissues of his classic recordings such as Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew to sprawling traveling exhibits of his artifacts and memorabilia to concert homages in his name by the world's greatest musicians, Miles Davis has evolved into a brand that stands for music at its boldest, most forward thinking and timeless. Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Marcus Miller, three chameleonic and masterful legends whose life legacies are indelibly intertwined with Davis', are uniting for a unique European tour called "Tribute to Miles" that will at once celebrate the music of Davis and, more importantly, his philosophy of constant evolution. The concert in Montreux will feature trumpeter Sean Jones and drummer Sean Rickman, two young musicians who will also be joining Miller & Co. for this special show. (FFJM © 2011)
