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.

Meet the Artists

Marcus Printup (Music Director, Trumpet)

was born and raised in Conyers, Georgia.

His first musical experiences were hearing

the fiery gospel music his parents sang inchurch. While attending the University of

North Florida on a music scholarship, he

won the International Trumpet Guild Jazz

Trumpet competition. In 1991 Printups life

changed when he met his mentor, the great

pianist Marcus Roberts. Roberts introduced

him to Wynton Marsalis, which led to

Printups induction into the Jazz at Lincoln

recorded with Betty Carter, Dianne Reeves,

Eric Reed, Madeline Peyroux, Ted Nash,

Cyrus Chestnut, Wycliffe Gordon, and

Roberts, among others. He has recorded

laborated with jazz greats Cyrus Chestnut,

transformed songs by indie alternative rock

band Pavement into unique virtuosic inter-

pretations with the attitude of the church

and juke joint. He has been a member of

the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra since

2005. Jackson currently performs with the

Wynton Marsalis Quintet, Horns in the

Hood, and leads the Ali Jackson Quartet.
