MILES DAVIS INSPIRES NEW REMIX ALBUM

A five-song EP of remixed Miles Davis recordings, titled The Evolution Of The Groove, is set to be released this summer by Sony/Legacy. The set will feature performances by Carlos Santana, rap star Nas and his father, jazz trumpeter Olu Dara. The project is co-produced by Davis' nephew, drummer Vince Wilburn Jr. Wilburn was also a co-producer on last year's Davis compilation, Cool & Collected, which featured some of the tunes most associated with Davis and the concept of "cool" jazz.

Cool & Collected featured one remixed track, "It's About That Time," that featured Santana and pianist Geri Allen, and will also be included on the upcoming Evolution Of The Groove EP, says Wilburn, who just completed the mastering of the new project in Burbank, California.
