Miles Davis Tribute Has Skokie Connection

Skokie’s Lynn Orman Weiss of Orman Music Group will present the Frank Russell Band on Saturday, April 27 at Chicago’s The Mayne Stage, 1328 Morse Ave., in Chicago at 8 p.m. 

“Miles Davis is one of my biggest influences as a musician,” Russell said. “To get the blessing and support from the Miles Davis family for this concert, there are no words … but that I am blessed and thankful.” 

Russell will be performing with special guests Dede Sampaio, a Miles Davis band percussionist, Dee Alexander and trumpeter Corey Wilkes will pay homage to the jazz master in celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month.

The event will feature signature song Code M2, which was originally penned for Miles Davis by Robert Irving and arranged for Russell’s CD “Circle Without End.”

Jazz critic Neil Tesser is set to host the event, which is sponsored by Skokie resident Lynn Orman Weiss and WDCB Radio 90.9 FM.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $25. You can purchase them here or by calling 773-381-4554.
