This album followed two other revolutionary masterpieces: <i data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"431\">Birth of the Cool<\/i> and <i data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"453\">Kind of Blue<\/i>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This new take, presented in the show <i data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"37\">Flamenco Sketches of Spain<\/i> on <strong>November 5th<\/strong> at the <strong>Triennale Theater in Milan<\/strong>, is made possible through the collaboration between <strong>Israel Galv\u00e1n<\/strong>\u2014a Seville-born dancer and choreographer famous in his homeland for his avant-garde approach to flamenco tradition\u2014and American trumpeter <strong>Michael Leonhart<\/strong>. <strong>Leonhart<\/strong> is responsible for rearranging and re-orchestrating this accessible, airy album that draws explicit inspiration from Spanish folk traditions. It is performed live by a stellar ensemble featuring, alongside the former <strong>Steely Dan<\/strong> member, <strong>Addison Frei<\/strong> on piano, <strong>Daniel Freedman<\/strong> on percussion, <strong>Yair Evnine<\/strong> and <strong>Mattia Boschi<\/strong> on cello, <strong>Carlo Nicita<\/strong> on flute, and <strong>Gilberto Tarocco<\/strong> on clarinet. While the full orchestra used by <strong>Davis<\/strong> and <strong>Evans<\/strong> is absent, the musical outcome of this reinterpretation is truly remarkable.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In this show\u2014an exclusive production by <strong>Ponderosa<\/strong> that has also toured internationally\u2014the raw physical energy of flamenco and the language of the jazz icon intertwine. More than that, they become one single entity, where sound and movement exist in perfect harmony.<\/div>\n<div>The performance will take place at the <strong>Triennale Theater<\/strong>. Fittingly, it was at the <strong>Triennale<\/strong> that <strong>Miles Davis<\/strong> gave his very first Italian concert back in <strong>1964<\/strong>, alongside giants like <strong>Wayne Shorter<\/strong> and <strong>Herbie Hancock<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Photo credit:<\/b> Rita Antonioli<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Info &amp; Tickets <a href=\"https:\/\/jazzmi.it\/events\/lake-street-dive\/\">jazzmi.it<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ibrahim Maalouf, back in Italy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":15232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,91,26,231,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bighome-en","category-festivals-en","category-magazine-en","category-magazine-en-2","category-music-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A hundred years of Miles.
