Jeff Lofton Electric Thang Does Miles Davis

Trumpeter Jeff Lofton’s Miles Davis passion is no secret – the veteran ATX jazz musician has done shows based around the music titan’s pioneering work before. Unlike many elites who sing the praises of only the sixties acoustic sounds, Lofton celebrates the electric work of In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew just as often. Lofton’s Electric Thang brings back Chasing the Voodoo Down, a show dedicated to Davis’ wildly influential music from that era. Few herald the strange, uncompromising, and insidiously compelling sonic storms on those records, so hearing them live will be a treat. Presented by KUTX for free. —1283273
