About Miles Davis&nbsp; In the midst of a prolific career at the top of modern jazz, the musician Miles Davis disappears from the public eye. Drugs and pain medication have silenced his musical voice. Then suddenly, journalist Dave enters his life.&nbsp;The story takes place in New York in 1979, when Davis (Don Cheadle) wanted to revive his career after a five-year hiatus. He works together with a reporter (Ewan McGregor) from the American music magazine Rolling Stone. Also featured are the turbulent years with the love of his life, Frances Taylor (Emayatzy Corinealdi).&nbsp;Michael Varekamp&nbsp; This Dutch trumpet player introduces this film about Miles Davis. On May 15th (8.30 PM, Hotel Nassau stage), Varekamp, together with MILES 100 and Eric Vloeimans, pays tribute to this jazz icon.&nbsp;Chassé x Breda Jazz Festival&nbsp; Chassé and Breda Jazz Festival are teaming up again this year with Breda Jazz Festival for a surprising jazz program. Get into the mood ahead of the festival with four special films and an exhibition by Breda photographer Willem Paterik. Or dance along during the world jazz concert Sonic Bridges.

Chassé and Breda Jazz Festival are once again joining forces this year to present a surprising jazz programme.
