“When we staged the 2017 performance it’s success took us all by surprise, on an artistic level and how quickly the show sold. Adelaide’s Miles Davis and Jazz fans filled the GC and witnessed what was truly a magical night. As a hardcore Miles Davis fan this show has been a labor of love for all the team and we are thrilled to be putting it on one more time. All band members are huge Miles fans and this show is a true labor of love. We’ve put in different songs from the 1957-1963 period on top of Kind Of Blue material for the fans to see fresh show” – Rob Pippan
