James Suggs Quartet – Tribute to Miles Davis

"So What," "All Blues" and "On Green Dolphin Street" anchor trumpeter James Suggs's salute to Miles Davis, part of the Jazz Club of Sarasota's jazz series in Florida Studio Theatre's John C. Court Cabaret. Suggs, who teaches jazz trumpet and leads ensembles at the University of South Florida, toured with the Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey orchestras and spent about eight years working in Buenos Aires. His debut, You're Gonna Hear From Me, was produced by tenor saxophonist Houston Person for Arbors Records and cut at the Van Gelder Studio with Lewis Nash, Peter Washington and Lafayette Harris behind him. Local players fill out the quartet.
