The Mahavishnu Organ Trio Project plays "Emergency Miles: The Electric Jazz-Rock of Miles Davis" May 20, 2007

The Mahavishnu Organ Trio Project pays tribute to one of the creators of jazz-rock, Mr. Miles Davis with a very special evening of classic Miles tunes viewed through the lens of the organ trio. A creative off-shoot sprouting from the amazing Mahavishnu Project, the trio consists of drummer Gregg Bendian (Ornette Coleman/Pat Metheny), guitarist Glenn Alexander (Randy Brecker/Chico Hamilton) and features Miles Davis/Wayne Shorter sideman, Adam Holzman on organ. The three are well-known for their stunning work with The Mahavishnu Project (Cuneiform Records) which tirelessly expands the frontiers of jazz repertory to include the electric jazz-rock of the 1970's. The Mahavishnu Organ Trio Project has presented stunning new renditions of the music of John McLaughlin & The Mahavishnu Orchestra and have also tackled the seminal jazz-rock music of Tony Williams Lifetime. This time out, the trio traces the musical roots of both Mahavishnu and Lifetime and focuses on the music of the master and father of jazz-rock - the one and only Miles Davis. An extraordinary evening of music not to be missed by Miles Davis fans, as well as fans of classic and adventurous organ trios!
