Composers Concordance continues its adventurous series of concerts with 'Inspired by Miles,' an evening celebrating the restless imagination and far-reaching musical legacy of Miles Davis. On Monday, November 23, 2026, at 7p.m., the series brings composers, improvisers, and poets together at The Bitter End (147 Bleecker Street, NYC.)At the center of the evening is keyboardist and composer Adam Holzman, whose connection to Davis is firsthand: he performed with Davis from 1985 to 1989, appeared on Tutu, and became the band’s musical director in 1988. Holzman brings that lived experience of Davis’s late-period music to a program that treats his influence not as a museum piece, but as an open invitation to experiment, respond, and invent.
The concert features compositions by John Clark, Dan Cooper, Miles Davis, Jane Getter, Adam Holzman Gene Pritsker, and Dassi Rosenkrantz. Performed by The CompCord Ensemble with Franz Hackl,, Peter Oswald, and Wayne Dumaine on trumpets; Holzman on keyboards;
Getter and Pritsker on guitar; Rosenkrantz on bass; and Damien Bassman on drums. Poets Imelda O’Reilly and Robert C. Ford join the program, bringing words into the evening’s musical conversation.
Rooted in Composers Concordance’s ongoing commitment to new music and cross-genre collaboration, Inspired by Miles honors Davis’s legacy by keeping it in motion—where composition meets improvisation, and the next idea is always just around the corner.
The concert will also be live streamed on Vox Novus YouTube page
