In the 1950s, Amram worked with the great bands of Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton and his own quartet. He was well acquainted with both Miles and Trane, two giants from the vibrant New York scene of the 1950s, and he brings a unique perspective to their transformative works.
