A group of stellar instrumentalists and fusion-era Miles Davis alumni come together as Miles Electric, a multi-generational band specializing in the wired-up and funky music Davis created from the late 1960s to the ‘80s on albums including Bitches Brew and You’re Under Arrest.

Led by the legendary trumpeter’s nephew, drummer Vincent Wilburn, Jr., the band features many of the commanding musicians Davis tapped for his various jazz-rock ensembles, among them guitarist DeWayne “Blackbyrd” McKnight of Davis and Herbie Hancock fame, Davis collaborators and keyboardists Robert Irving III and John Beasley, and percussionist Munyungo Jackson, a veteran of multiple Miles Davis tours and recordings from the late 80s and early 90s.

Featuring many of the commanding musicians Miles Davis tapped for his various funky jazz-fusion ensembles.
