The Sheldon Concert Hall celebrates Miles Davis’ centennial birthday with ‘Unlimited Miles’

Miles Davis’ reputation as a jazz giant remains to this day. On March 28, the Sheldon Concert Hall & Galleries will celebrate the world-renowned trumpeter with “Unlimited Miles: Miles Davis at 100,” which will feature contemporary jazz performers who have been inspired by Davis’ musicianship. The Sheldon’s executive director Peter Palermo and Gerald Early, a Washington University professor of African and African American Studies and editor of “Miles Davis and American Culture, Vol. 1” reflect on Davis’ influence on jazz, his relationship with the St. Louis region and what’s to be expected at “Unlimited Miles.”
