30th Anniversary Subscription Series
This season, our Subscription Series brings 18 dynamic performances that span the rich spectrum of jazz—from timeless swing to bold innovation. Hear the deep groove of New Orleans with drummer Herlin Riley, the lush vocals of Mary Stallings, and a stirring tribute to the 1959 masterpiece Kind of Blue as we honor the 100th birthday of Miles Davis. Later in the season, MEB – Miles Electric Band reimagines Davis’s revolutionary electric period in a high-voltage set that’s not to be missed. Each week offers something new and soul-stirring, whether from jazz icons or today’s rising stars.
