Many know Paolo Fresu, as a trumpeter, but few people know him as a narrator. They are both the protagonists of “Kind of Miles”, a play and a concert at the same time. On the centenary of Miles Davis’s birth, Fresu reflects, tells, and evokes one of the key figures of twentieth-century music. Not only jazz.

Paolo Fresu, Kind of Miles

Teatro Morlacchi

If one were to imagine an Italian musician celebrating a musical giant like Miles Davis, in the year marking the centenary of his birth, the first name that would surely come to mind is Paolo Fresu . His new recording project, "Kind of Lives," is the concert version of the successful musical and theatrical opera "Kind of Miles," written and performed by Fresu himself, which has been performed over 50 times. A sonic fresco that evokes the creative and visionary universe of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, retracing his music through original compositions.
