SUMMARY:Marcus Miller: We Want Miles
LOCATION:SFJAZZ Auditorium\, 201 Franklin St\, San Francisco\, CA 94102
DESCRIPTION:Among the great electric bassists in the history of the instrum
 ent\, Marcus Miller is a jazz renaissance man. He was instrumental to Mile
 s Davis’s resurgence in the 1980s and helps us celebrate Miles’s cente
 nnial with music from Davis’s landmark 1982 live double album We Want Mi
 les \, along with classic Miles compositions spanning from the 1950s right
  up to his final era of Tutu in 1986 and Amandla in 1989 both of which Mar
 cus Miller composed and produced. He will be joined by other members of Mi
 les Davis’s 1980s comeback band guitarist Mike Stern \, saxophonist Bill
  Evans and percussionist Mino Cinelu . A wildly prolific studio musician a
 nd bandleader\, Miller and his distinctive bass virtuosity have been heard
  on well over 500 sessions for a dizzying array of major artists including
  Dizzy Gillespie\, Herbie Hancock\, Wayne Shorter\, and McCoy Tyner to Pau
 l Simon\, Aretha Franklin\, and Luther Vandross. He first appeared with Da
 vis on the trumpeter’s 1980 comeback The Man with the Horn and went on t
 o produce and largely compose Davis’s three late 80s albums Tutu (1986)\
 , Music from Siesta (1987)\, and Amandla (1989). 1982’s double live We W
 ant Miles is a document of Davis’s first live performances after his sel
 f-imposed six-year retirement\, culled from recordings in Boston\, New Yor
 k\, and Tokyo and featuring two versions of the now-classic tracks “Jean
 -Pierre\,” “Back Seat Betty\,” and the Gershwin standard “My Man
 ’s Gone Now.”\n\nhttps://www.sfjazz.org/tickets/productions/26-27/marc
