Miles Davis Electric

ENJZ-306

The Miles Davis Electric ensemble will study and perform the music of the Miles Davis groups from the years 1969 to 1991. In this course, students will participate in weekly supervised rehearsals. Students will gain experience in performing the early jazz/electric fusion of the Davis bands and then move into the pop/jazz bands with which he finished his career. There will be focused discussions and exercises on improvisation and group interaction. Emphasis will be given to stylistic integrity, as well as melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic accuracy.
