Birth of the Cool Reimagined: Miles Davis Birthday Tribute

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

Jazz Mafia's  Miles Davis Birthday Celebration

The Sound Room

Adam Theis and Jazz Mafia take a completely new look at this legendary 1950s album from a 2024 perspective. The music strikes a precarious balance between the old and new - Birth of the Cool’s intricate Chamber/Jazz arrangements are reconstructed and placed in various musical vehicles developed over the past 70 years since the album’s release: Soul Jazz, 70s Fusion, Hip-Hop, Afro-Cuban and even Electronic are also interwoven into the lens of this new perspective. Players in this 6 piece ensemble switch between styles, tempos, feels, genre and even instruments at dizzying speeds, creating a truly unique modern Jazz performance and tribute to a true masterpiece.“As an organization governed by a radically embracing ethos, the Jazz Mafia is the antithesis of a criminal enterprise. A trombonist, bassist, arranger, composer and inveterate band-builder, Theis seeks to welcome all comers stylistically and demographically, while the band makes the most of whatever it has to offer. It’s a conspiracy of generosity.”— Andrew Gilbert, The Mercury News Adam Theis - bandleader, tromboneJohn Palowitch - Alto SaxTommy Occhiuto - tenor/bari saxColin Hogan - keysJoshua Thurston Milgrom - upright bassHenry Plumb - drums
