Hard Proof Presents: Miles at 100 | Bitches Brew
Details
Hard Proof is bringing a long-awaited jazz adventure to the stage with Miles at 100 | Bitches Brew, a live taping and listening-room concert built for deep listening and serious groove seekers. This is the kind of night where legendary music gets reimagined with big energy, tight musicianship, and just enough unpredictability to keep things thrilling.
The centerpiece is Miles Davis’ boundary-pushing masterpiece Bitches Brew, performed in full as a tribute to what would have been Miles’ 100th birthday. After a rehearsal back in 2020 got derailed, this performance finally brings that vision to life with a stacked lineup of saxophones, guitars, keys, bass, percussion, and drums, plus special guests helping push the sound into electric, free-flowing territory.
- One-night-only performance
- Live taping in an intimate listening-room setting
- A deep dive into one of jazz’s most revolutionary albums
- Expect immersive, high-energy improvisation and lush ensemble textures
- Whisper-policy in effect for the taping vibe
- BYOB with water available on site
If you love jazz that stretches out, surprises you, and feels alive in the moment, this is a must-see night.
