Ross?roots in jazz and gospel give him unfailing feel, and thrill-inducing chops. His trio celebrates Prestige Records?65th anniversary, live at Jazz at Lincoln Center and we pay tribute to the legendary Rudy Van Gelder.
It's been said Miles Davis is to jazz is like Hemingway is to the American novel, like Picasso is to art. But he was more than just a trumpeter ? he was an icon of style and artistry. Jazz Night in America explores three interpretations of Miles Davis ? on the silver screen, the page and on the bandstand. We speak with actor Don Cheadle, who directed, produced, wrote and starred in Miles Ahead; writer Quincy Troupe, who helped Davis write his autobiography; and trumpeter Keyon Harrold, who led a special tribute concert at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola.
