Miles Davis remains one of the most iconic figures in jazz history. His unstoppable drive for innovation inspires generations of musicians to this day and extends beyond his own time. In the year he would have turned 100, Brussels Jazz Orchestra and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire join forces for a unique project that does not look back out of nostalgia but looks forward with a fresh, contemporary vision.

For (…) What’s Not There, Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Ambrose Akinmusire and arrangers Guillermo Klein and Lennert Baerts read between the lines. ‘Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there,’ Miles Davis proclaimed. He was not only a fantastic trumpeter but also a legendary bandleader who had an incredible talent for bringing the right musicians together and lifting them to stratospheric heights.
