John Atkinson is chosen to record it...John Marks is to produce it, but he asks your opinion as to who gets to be considered to play on the re-make of Kind Of Blue. Who would be your choice of players? Now, this thread should be interesting.

All the session will be done for video release as well in 5.1 as well as DSD 5.1 and two-channel. How would JA mic the recording session? The practice session will also be documented on video. Just think if we had behind the scenes video footage of Miles and friends from 1959.

My first thoughts are: Jeff Hamilton/drums; John Clayton/bass; Dave Grusin/Piano (need someone capable of doing all the lead sheets in an impeccable manner); Ravi Coltrane/Sax; Branford Marsalis/Sax; Wynton Marsalis/Trumpet. Nicholas Payton on trumpet would not be a bad choice either. Come on now...Jump IN!
