The Music of Miles Davis ft. Axel Kaner-Lidstrom Quartet

A journey through the music of jazz icon Miles Davis

Following a string of sold-out shows, the Axel Kaner-Lidstrom Quartet returns to Toulouse Lautrec for an electrifying celebration of Miles Davis as part of our Black History Month programme.

Embark on a journey through the defining eras of one of jazz’s most influential and visionary artists. From the spacious, introspective beauty of Kind of Blue to the daring improvisation and rhythmic freedom of the Second Great Quintet, this special performance traces the evolution of a sound that changed jazz forever.

Expect timeless compositions, fearless interplay and exhilarating improvisation as some of London’s most accomplished young musicians bring Davis’s music vividly to life. Capturing the freedom, fire and restless creativity at the heart of his work, the quintet pays homage while bringing its own energy and personality to every performance.
