On Saturday\, August 29\, from 6–10 p.m.\, the Alton Amphitheater hosts the Alton Jazz & Wine Festival\, featuring artists who embody the creativity\, innovation\, and fearless spirit that defined one of music’s greatest pioneers.

The narrative isn’t just a history lesson on a page—we are the living continuation of that exact same lineage.” – K. Taylor \nOur band comprises active St. Louis and East St. Louis musicians. We grew up\, trained\, and cut our teeth playing in the exact same geographic and cultural ecosystem that birthed Miles Davis. The inflections\, the phrasing\, and the heavy emphasis on groove and blues that defined Miles’ early years are baked into our DNA. Many tributes treat Miles like a historical artifact. Because of who we are and where we are from\, this is a living\, breathing celebration. We are bringing the authentic regional sound\, the specific St. Louis trumpet tradition and musical community\, straight to the Alton stage \nThis is a full-circle homecoming. Miles’ story started in Alton\, moved through East St. Louis\, and spread to the world. Having a powerhouse lineup of contemporary St. Louis and East St. Louis players bring that sound back to Alton creates a perfect\, full-circle moment for the festival. \nPlayadors\nThis St. Louis ensemble brings a fresh feel to the 70’s jazz-funk fusion sound\, featuring a lineup of St. Louis’s finest musicians. Playadors infuse their music with heavy grooves\, intricate melodies\, and soulful vocals – performing both original compositions and reimagining classics. It’s easy to see\, at the band’s high-energy performances\, that Playadors are a celebration of life\, love\, and the power of music to bring people together. With a rapidly growing fanbase and a reputation for delivering unforgettable live shows\, Playadors are poised to make their mark on the music scene. \nButcher Brown\nHeadlining the festival is acclaimed Virginia collective Butcher Brown\, one of today’s most exciting voices in contemporary jazz. Their latest release\, A Supreme Blue\, created in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning musician Nicholas Payton and released during Miles Davis’ centennial year\, reimagines two of jazz’s most influential albums: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. The project demonstrates how today’s artists continue to build upon the groundbreaking work of jazz’s greatest innovators while carrying forward the spirit of exploration and reinvention that defined Miles Davis’ career. \nBorn in Alton in 1926\, Miles Davis changed the course of jazz by continually reinventing it. This August\, celebrate his legacy where it all began.
