WE WANT MILES!

Summer 2026 will mark the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis’ birth, and the world will undoubtedly celebrate this monumental milestone. Marcus Miller’s We Want Miles! project promises to be an exciting celebratory tribute to one of the most important figures in not just jazz but in the overall history of music.

Marcus Miller has assembled an explosive group, including the original members of Miles Davis’ 1980s comeback band, featuring Marcus Miller on electric bass, Mike Stern on guitar, Bill Evans on saxophone and Mino Cinelu on percussion. The talented trumpeter Russell Gunn, who has toured with Marcus Miller for the past decade, will bring his unique interpretations of Davis’ music to the forefront. 

The We Want Miles! project will feature selections from the iconic 1981 We Want Miles! live recording in Japan, along with classic compositions from Miles’ celebrated catalog spanning the 1950s and 60s, right up to his final era of Tutu in 1986 and Amandla in 1989, both of which Marcus Miller composed and produced. The group will play the music from all of the important eras of Miles’ career but will also take Miles into the future and explore some other things that he might have appreciated playing going forward.

EMMA NAGY QUINTET

The multiple award-winning Emma Nagy Quintet represents a new generation of modern, contemporary jazz. In a short time, the band has come a long way: in addition to numerous concerts in Hungary, they have performed at competitions and festivals in Italy, Poland, Spain, and Slovakia. In the autumn of 2024 they were invited performers at the Jarasum Jazz Festival, and in 2025 they gave a concert in Paris.

Although the five musicians differ from one another in many ways, it was clear from the very beginning that they work best as a unified whole. Their experimental spirit plays a major role in shaping their sound: heavy drum grooves, free improvisation, contemporary compositions built on song form, and other unique solutions are all prominent elements in their music. This diversity is not an end in itself—it serves to allow the ensemble to explore the layers of chamber music more deeply on stage. Contrasts and dissonances, improvisation and variety, joy and melancholy, contemporary sensitivity and grotesque, raw expression all appear in their style, which also carries a kind of dreamlike charm.
