Concert 5: JAZZ ABSTRACTS • The Music of MILES DAVIS & WAYNE SHORTER
                                                                with The Buhr Quartet

This concert features the music of two jazz geniuses: Miles Davis (composer/trumpeter) and Wayne Shorter (composer/saxophonist) performed by the Buhr Quartet, with guest Daniel Roy on drums.

Jazz legend Miles Davis moved into the mainstream avant-garde when he joined Charlie Parker's quintet in 1944 at the age of 18. By the mid-50's he was a jazz recording and touring superstar leading his own bands from then on. In 1964 the great saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter joined Miles' famous 2nd quintet and recorded a string of his own compositions with that group. Most of those 60's Shorter compositions are now established jazz standards.
 
(This concert will also feature an onscreen montage of Jazz visual art from the Winnipeg collection.)
