JAZZ AT THE MACC: MUSIC OF MILES DAVIS To Hit The Stage November 17

Join the Gulf Coast Symphony and Gulf Coast Jazz Collective on November 17, 2022 at 7:00pm for "Jazz at the MACC: Music of Miles Davis" at the Music & Arts Community Center in Fort Myers. The Gulf Coast Jazz Collective opens its 3rd season with the music of one the Jazz world's most important innovators - Miles Davis.

Miles took part in almost every era of jazz including bebop, hard bop, cool jazz and fusion. As usual, the Collective will put their own twist on Miles' music. That means high energy, excitement, and a ton of fun. The show features the phenomenal trumpeter James Suggs, who hails from St. Petersburg, Florida, to play the role of Miles. The show also features Tampa Bay saxophonist Aaron West in the roles of Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, and John Coltrane.
