Miles Ahead: The Music and Legacy of Miles Davis
Fri, Nov 13
Miles Ahead: The Music and Legacy of Miles Davis brings the catalog of a trumpet player who spent four decades refusing to repeat himself to Jazz, TX. Davis remade his sound every few years without explaining why, moving from hard bop to modal jazz to electric fusion.
Houston's Felix DeLeon leads his own quintet through that catalog, playing some tunes straight and others loose and electric. DeLeon grew up in a family of church musicians, learning piano by ear before switching to trumpet at MacArthur High School. He studied with Arturo Sandoval in Miami and has shared the stage with Tito Puente and Celia Cruz. He's a two-time Grammy nominee and one-time winner, and in 2024 he played the Kennedy Center with the Jazz Houston Orchestra.
