Notes on the ProgramBy Greg Thomas
Miles Davis is a 20th-century icon with aprotean musical legacy. With one note, his
lyricism gripped the hearts attention. His
spacious solos gave room for lifes mys-
tery. Over six decades he proved to be a
stylistic shape-shifter akin to Picasso in the
visual arts; Davis was never content with
complacency. He followed his artistic
muse, from varieties of jazz in an acoustic
vein from the late 1940s to the mid-60s, toelectronic music fusing rock, pop, funk, and
even elements from the soundscape of the
German classical composer Karlheinz
Stockhausen in the late-60s through 1991.
Walt Whitmans memorable statement, I
am large, I contain multitudes, could have
been Davis epitaph.
The challenge of adequately representingthe span of Davis music is daunting, a
challenge met this evening by the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra, various arrangers
in the big band, and the co-musical direc-
tors, trumpeter Marcus Printup and drum-
mer Ali Jackson, whose visions cross-
pollinate the order of the selections. We
would need five to ten shows to really
cover Miles, says Printup, but were
striving to compact it into one presenta-
tion. Jackson agrees. The important
thing is to represent his body of work in a
way that meshes well as a presentation,
which can include tempos, keys, eras, and
the treatment of the arrangements.
Jacksons focus is on significant small
Davis bands, starting from the 1950s with
Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and Percy Heath,followed by Miles curving flow with the
rhythm section of Red Garland, Philly Joe
Jones, and Paul Chambers, and several
successive tenor saxophonists. Jackson
also references the second major Miles
quintet with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter,
Tony Williams, and Wayne Shorter.
Miles was a master of selecting musicians,
finding talent, and creating an environment
through which they would all create, Jackson
explains. To me, Miles was unique, individual,and a great representation, through his sound,
of the introspective. But he was extroverted in
checking out a lot to find his own voice. As he
developed, he just kept working on his con-
cept and his objective in playing. Thats what
makes a great artist: when they have a per-
spective and a direction.
Printup co-signs: Miles Davis played what
he wanted to play. Thats what I admiredabout him the most. He never conformed
to what others wanted him to do, and his
music, and even his appearance, was
reflective of the times. Thats a testament
to a strong artist.
Whereas Jackson centers on Miles style
with small groups, Printup has selected
compositions by or associated with Miles
from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 80s, and 90s.
These will demonstrate the textures of
Davis approach and sensibility, from fleet,
many-note melodies to egg-shell-soft bal-
lads to numbers with a backbeat groove.
However, Printup and Jackson both found
difficulty incorporating some of Miles elec-
tronic music in tonights context.
I like his music from the 70s, Printupsays, but for the flow of the concert I did-
nt feel the vibe of how to make that work
with a big band. Of Bitches Brew, for
example, Jackson emphasizes that Its
not that you want to exclude it, but its not
easy to create that sonic vibe, in this envi-
ronment and time frame.
Miles Davis influenced the course of
American musical development over andover, as his singular muse thrived on the
social and cultural currents of his time. Yet
there was indeed a constant, according to
Printup: If you hear his sound in 1947 to his
sound on You Wont Forget Me, his last
recording as a sideman with Shirley Horn in
1991, its the same Miles, the same sound.
