Miles Davis: Celebrating 100 Years

It’s difficult to express the importance of Davis’ influence on the world of jazz. In 2026, we celebrate 100 years since his birth, marking the centenary of an artist whose career spanned over five decades, reshaping jazz in the process.

In 1959, he recorded what is widely regarded as his most triumphant album Kind of Blue with his then working sextet. The album has gone to become the highest selling jazz album of all time, going quadruple platinum.

This April, we welcome rising star Olivia Cuttill to perform Miles Davis' beloved Kind Of Blue in its entirety live with an all-star quintet of outstanding talent.
