A tribute to jazz and its stories
In Driving Miles, the audience is taken to a Norwegian coastal town with its own jazz festival, where a fictional character – played by Per Egil Aske – meets real legends such as Miles Davis, a jazz-loving scrap dealer and a cuckoo from Montreux.
The performance weaves together music, storytelling and memories, creating a warm portrait of jazz's power to live on through both performance and retelling.
