We are thrilled to present this special series by the Dru Heller Quintet, celebrating the music of an inimitable American music duo: Miles Davis and drummer Philly Joe Jones. Synonymous with the sound of mainstream jazz in the 1950s and beyond, these two musicians formed the backbone of the first great Miles Davis Quintet. For this residency, Dru will be joined by a phenomenal lineup of Northern Colorado all-stars: Gabe Mervine (trumpet), Peter Sommer (saxophone), Patrick McDevitt (bass), and Tom Amend (piano).

Dru Heller has made his home in Denver since 2013. He has toured and recorded with some of the greatest names in Jazz, including Don Byron, John Ellis, Ron Miles, Art Lande, and others. Dru keeps up a busy schedule as a bandleader and sideman in a multitude of projects and can be seen frequently in different clubs, festivals, and concert halls in Denver. As an educator, Dru has been an artist in residence for many colleges, high schools, and music festivals nationwide. He has a private teaching studio for all ages and ability levels and is a music faculty member of the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Dru attended the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he received an M.M. in Jazz Performance/Pedagogy.
