Miles Electric Band:
Celebrating 100 Years of Miles Davis
Burton Cummings Theatre
Sunday, June 21 | 7:30pm
M.E.B. (Miles Electric Band) was founded by EMMY and GRAMMY-winning drummer/producer Vince Wilburn Jr., the nephew and bandmate of Miles Davis. Bringing together Miles Davis alumni and the next generation of modern jazz stars, this rotating ensemble of master musicians performs with the intention of continuing to expand the boundaries of music, while also paying homage to the innovations of Miles Davis' electric period.
The latest recording, That You Not Dare To Forget (Released on Sony Legacy Recordings), produced by Lenny White and Vince Wilburn Jr., presents brand new, never-released studio recordings and echoes from the master himself. Two tracks of the five on the album include unreleased trumpet performances by Miles and the album features music legends including Ron Carter, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Donald Harrison, Darryl Jones, Vernon Reid and John Scofield.
This all-star crew’s high-voltage celebration features Miles band alums Vince Wilburn Jr., Darryl Jones, Robert Irving III, Marc Cary, Jean Paul Bourelly, Munyugo Jackson, and Antoine Roney, with the addition of jazz contemporaries Keyon Harrold on trumpet and special guest DJ Logic on turntables. Together, they deliver the boundary-breaking energy, groove, and funk that defined Miles' electric era albums like Bitches Brew and On The Corner.
The ensemble is endorsed by The Miles Davis Estate and sponsored by American Express. A biopic film on Miles Davis is being produced by Jagged Edge Productions and is slated for release in 2026.
