SUMMARY:Mission: Democratic and Literary Literacy in Schools
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing Workshop \nThe editorial project of the Mission: Democracy collection\, by the Assembleia da República\, consisting of 12 themes\, makes available to younger citizens up-to-date and graphically appealing publications.

SUMMARY:New Birth of the Cool - Carlos Azevedo Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:A concert recreating the album Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis\, released in 1957 and considered a landmark in jazz history. Birth of the Cool is often cited as the precursor to the style known as cool jazz\, which emerged between the late 1940s and early 1950s\, characterised by a softer\, more relaxed approach in contrast to the emotional intensity of bebop. \nThe album was also groundbreaking for its sophisticated and complex arrangements\, many of which were crafted by Gil Evans\, a frequent collaborator of Davis. \nThis work not only solidified Miles Davis as one of the most innovative musicians in jazz but also altered the course of the genre\, opening new directions and sonic possibilities that continue to resonate today. \nThe album helped establish the foundations of modern jazz\, influencing a generation of musicians who began exploring new harmonies\, forms\, and improvisational approaches. It also had a lasting impact\, contributing to the perception of jazz as a more sophisticated and complex art form. \nThis concert will also feature the premiere of two new compositions: one by Carlos Azevedo and another by ESMAE student Simão Raimundo. \n  \n ⇒ This concert is part of the 100 Years of Miles and Coltrane  \n  \n ⇒  3-day pass (all concerts) – 75€  ⇒ BUY \n\nChão Maior (8 may at 8:00pm)\nNew Birth of the Cool –  Carlos Azevedo Ensemble (9 may at 3:00pm)\nBela-Nafa (9 may at 5:00pm)\nMiles Ahead – Orquestra do Hot Clube com Ralph Alessi  (9 may at 8:00pm)\nKind of Blue – Ensemble do Hot Clube with comentários by Pedro Moreira (10 may at 12:00pm)\nFor the beauty of the Gesture – Quodlibet Quintet  (10 may às 4:00pm)\nJohn O’Gallagher Trio (10 may at 8:00pm)

SUMMARY:Miles Ahead - Orquestra de Jazz do Hot Clube with Ralph Alessi
DESCRIPTION:After several collaborations in the late 1940s\, Miles Davis and composer Gil Evans entered the studio in 1957 to record Miles Ahead\, an album that would become one of the most important and influential works in orchestral jazz\, leading them to create Porgy and Bess (1958) and Sketches of Spain (1959). \nThese albums were pioneering in their new sonorities\, timbres\, and orchestral textures\, with an expanded ensemble beyond the traditional big band\, and above all in the way Miles opened the door to a new musical language and expression. \nInspired by this rich sonic universe\, the Hot Clube Jazz Orchestra invites American trumpeter Ralph Alessi\, one of the most relevant trumpeters on today’s jazz scene\, for a concert revisiting some of the original scores while also premiering new works for the same instrumentation\, establishing a fertile dialogue and keeping Miles Davis’s legacy alive through new music. — Pedro Moreira \n  \n ⇒ This concert is part of the 100 Years of Miles and Coltrane  \n  \n ⇒  3-day pass (all concerts) – 75€  ⇒ BUY \n\nChão Maior (8 may at 8:00pm)\nNew Birth of the Cool –  Carlos Azevedo Ensemble (9 may at 3:00pm)\nBela-Nafa (9 may at 5:00pm)\nMiles Ahead – Orquestra do Hot Clube com Ralph Alessi  (9 may at 8:00pm)\nKind of Blue – Ensemble do Hot Clube with comentários by Pedro Moreira (10 may at 12:00pm)\nFor the beauty of the Gesture – Quodlibet Quintet  (10 may às 4:00pm)\nJohn O’Gallagher Trio (10 may at 8:00pm)
