WESTPORT — A celebration of Miles Davis’s music, celebrating the jazz musician’s 100th birthday, will open the 2026 season at the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts this weekend.

Get On It will perform at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 24th. The band is a longstanding project of Charlie Hall, a Wilton native and drummer for The War on Drugs, originally formed in the late ’90s to explore the 1969 to 1975 period of Davis’s electric music.

The concert will focus on three of Davis’s most influential albums: Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and Jack Johnson. The Levitt Pavilion says the event is also part of its planned programming to celebrate the semiquincentennial of the United States, recognizing Davis as “a transformative American artist, examined, channeled and reinvented through contemporary artists, a timeless dialogue is created with the past, present and future – one that transcends music and lends itself to the occasion of our nation’s 250th anniversary and creates an opportunity to reflect, engage, imagine – and to come together and groove.”
