MILES PALE ALE SERIES
It comes as no surprise that we crush on music. It’s our lifeblood, our beating heart, the pulse of our souls. We love all kinds & all styles, but jazz occupies a very special place for us. As a musician, arranger, & composer, Miles Davis was on the front lines of nearly every stylistic change in jazz from the 1940’s into the 1990’s. Bebop, Cool Jazz, Modal Jazz, Hard Bop, Third Stream, Fusion. Miles Davis’ fingerprint can be seen—& heard—on all of it. Our Pale Ale Series is a nod to some of our favorite Davis recordings.
