The Miles Davis Acoustic ensemble will study and perform the music of the Miles Davis groups from the years 1945-1969. In this course, students will participate in weekly supervised rehearsals. Students will gain experience in performing bebop, hard bop, cool, modal, and mainstream style music of the Davis groups that used only acoustic instruments. There will be focused discussions and exercises on improvisation and group interaction. Emphasis will be given to stylistic integrity, as well as melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic accuracy.
