Miles Griffith Ensemble
Saturday, September 21, 2024 from 6-8 pm!
Miles Griffith’s non-traditional use of the voice as a percussive instrument, combined with an uncanny harmonic sense has made him a prime choice for many musicians.
In 1994, he played the lead role of “Jesse” in Wynton Marsalis’, celebrated Blood On The Fields, the specially commissioned jazz oratorio, which premiered at Lincoln Centers’ Alice Tully Hall. Griffith also participated on the recording, which was released on Sony Music in mid 1997 to end Marsalis Pulitzer Award and Grammy winning world tour.
His impressive resume also includes stints with Max Roach, Reggie Workman, Carl Allen, Bill Lee, T.S. Monk, Barry Harris, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, poet Sekou Sundiata, Ahmed Abdullahs Diaspora, Cameron Brown, Billy Hart, Marion Cowings, Ron Carter, Billy Higgins, Christian McBride, Malika, Zarra, Roy Hargrove, Jimmy Heath, Kevin Mahogany, Benny Green, Akim Funk Buddha, Common, Q-Tip, among many other celebrated artists.
