This week my guest on The JazzBites Show is an independent artist, composer, arranger, and producer who’s collaborated with and contributed to the recordings of musical Titans such as MILES DAVIS, DAVID SANBORN, MARCUS MILLER, GROVER WASHINGTON JR, ARETHA FRANKLIN, HERB ALPERT, WHITNEY HOUSTON, LUTHER VANDROSS, & CHAKA KHAN to name but a few - the list is breathtaking and endless. This is an informative, in-depth interview with a truly gifted artist who's been making his mark on the music scene for more than five decades. He not only learned from the best, but the best also learned a great deal from him. Growing up in his native Brooklyn, he formed his first band at only 14 years of age, was securing gigs in New York, and earned the reputation of being way ahead of his time musically in several directions for which he was both admired and in demand. A supreme talent with a great sense of humor, he's passionate about everything he does, and perhaps that's why the late great Miles Davis during their time together in the studio only shouted at him once in five years.

JASON MILES has raised the level of excellence for the musicians who have had the good fortune of working with him, myself included. He has enriched the lives of the millions of people who have listened to the music he plays, the recordings he produces and the countless musicians he mentors and inspires. The work he did with my friends, Miles Davis and Marcus Miller have helped to define the modern face of jazz music."
