In celebration of Miles Davis’ centennial year, the USF Jazztet presents a tribute to the landmark recording that shifted the direction of modern jazz. In 1949, shortly after departing Charlie Parker’s band, Davis joined forces with arranger Gil Evans and a forward-thinking ensemble to record what became known as Birth of the Cool.

Davis and Evans would later collaborate on several period-defining projects including Miles Ahead, Sketches of Spain, and Porgy and Bess. This centennial program honors that influential chapter in jazz history.

The nonet is led by trombonist Tom Brantley and features trumpet player John Castleman. The USF Faculty Jazztet also includes Aaron West (alto saxophone), Ross Strauser (baritone saxophone), Lyndsie Wilson (French horn), Phil Beatty (tuba), Pablo Arencibia (piano), Mark Neuenschwander (bass), and David Rudolph (drums).

Join the Tampa Jazz Club for this season finale celebrating the enduring legacy of one of jazz’s most influential recordings.
