If they were still alive, Miles Davis and John Coltrane would\u2019ve both turned 100 years old this year (May, and September, respectively). The jazz icons actually only lived for a combined 105 years, but left behind a world-changing body of work.<\/p>\n

Drummer Jean Balduc, bassist Alejandro Arenas, and pianist John O\u2019Leary will play alongside trumpeter James Suggs and saxophonist Jeremy Carter who told WMNF\u2019s \u201cJazz In the Night\u201d <\/a>show that they\u2019ve been working with about 50 tunes that\u2019ll be whittled down into the setlist for this tribute. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many great tunes on the repertoire,\u201d Suggs said last Monday, giving a nod to the Steamin\u2019 and Relaxin\u2019 albums from Davis\u2019 quintet. \u201cWe\u2019re still filing it down. But yeah, all the classic prestige recordings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets to see James Suggs, Jeremy Carter, and the Miles-Trane Centennial at Mainstage Theatre at Hillsborough College Ybor in Ybor City on Sunday, Aug. 23 are still available and start at $10 (free for HCC students and staff).<\/a><\/p>\n
