7 Steps: The Music of Miles Davis

7 Steps: The Music of Miles Davis
Welsh trumpeter Tomos Williams, is taking his band 7Steps on the road during the autumn of 2026, celebrating the centenary of jazz legend and 20th Century icon Miles Davis.

7Steps consistently sell out venues, performing sold out shows at Aberjazz, Fishguard (2025) Amser JazzTime Festival, Cardiff (selling out the Dora Stoutzker Hall in 2023 and 2020), Wexford Arts Centre (Ireland) and a sell out show at Cardiff's Cabaret space in the Wales Millennium Centre (2026).

7Steps perform some of the classics associated with the great trumpeter; So What, All Blues, Milestones but also play some of the less well known songs from Miles' vast catalogue such as Joshua, Masqualero and Teo.
2026 is the perfect time for '7Steps' to celebrate the birth of Miles Davis, one of the towering figures of 20th Century music, with a concert of his music presented with vigour and passion.

The quintet, comprised of stellar Welsh jazz musicians includes Joe Northwood on tenor sax, pianist Dave Jones, Aidan Thorne or Paula Gardiner on bass and the magnificent Mark O'Connor on drums.

Tomos Williams is a leading and unique voice on the Welsh jazz scene. He leads the jazz/folk sextet, Burum, the groundbreaking Indo-Welsh fusion band 'Khamira', (who have played in South Korea, India and Wales) and his Cwmwl Tystion/Witness project that will be releasing its third album this year.
