MILES DAVIS Birthday Special, a KBOO annual tradition.
SPECIAL GUEST HOSTS: Carlton Jackson and Andre St James

for over 30 years, KBOO has honored the life and music of one of the greatest innovators in the history of modern music: MILES DEWEY DAVIS III
Tune into KBOO this Friday night at midnight, and lsit back and listen as we travel through 50 years of milestones laid down by the genius who changed the course of jazz numerous times, from the early be-bop years with Billy Eckstine & Charlie Parker, to the Birth of the Cool years, to the seminal quartet of the 50s with JOHN COLTRANE, the sixties quintet with HERBIE HANCOCK, TONY WILLIAMS, RON CARTER & WAYNE SHORTER and the electric storms beginning in 1969 with the legendary BITCHES BREW and on thru the 70s and 80s. 

CARLTON JACKSON and ANDRE ST JAMES --yes, those local legends take the wheel!
