Founded in 2010 by EMMY and GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING producer/drummer Vince Wilburn Jr., band member and nephew of Sir Miles Dewey Davis, the “Miles Electric Band” now known as M.E.B. has been playing the largest concert halls and festivals throughout the world for the past decade. Bringing together Miles Davis alumni and the next generation of modern jazz stars, this rotating ensemble of master musicians performs with the intention of continuing to expand the boundaries of music, while also paying homage to the innovations of Miles Davis’ electric period. 

The latest recording, That You Not Dare To Forget (Released on Sony Legacy Recordings) – produced by Lenny White and Vince Wilburn Jr.- presents brand new, never-released studio recordings and echoes from the master himself. Two tracks of the five on the album include unreleased trumpet performances by Miles, and the album features music legends including Ron Carter, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Donald Harrison, Darryl Jones, Vernon Reid and John Scofield. This album is dedicated to the memory of Wallace Roney and Bernard Wright and contains some of their final recordings. The cover is an original painting from artist and Miles’ associate Mikel Elam.

In 2026, we will be touring a concert program in honor of the Miles Davis Centennial. This all-star ensemble, led by EMMY and Grammy Award-winning producer/drummer Vince Wilburn Jr., features such luminaries as Daryl Jones, Robert Irving III, Mino Cinelu, Antoine Roney, Keyon Harrold, DJ Logic, and more.

Celebrating the Miles Davis Centennial: M.E.B. “Miles Electric Band”

Vince Wilburn Jr. – drums (Miles Davis alumnus); Darryl Jones (Miles Davis alumnus) – bass; Robert Irving III (Miles Davis alumnus) – keyboards; Jean-Paul Etienne Bourelly – guitar; Munyugo Jackson (Miles Davis alumnus) and Mino Cinelu (Miles Davis alumnus) – percussion;  Antione Roney or Gary Thomas (Miles Davis alumnus) – tenor & soprano saxophone; Keyon Harold or Sean Jones – trumpet; DJ Logic (Jason Kibler) – turntables.

The ensemble is endorsed by The Miles Davis Estate and sponsored by American Express.  A biopic film on Miles Davis is being produced by Jagged Edge Productions and is slated for release in 2026.

The Miles Electric Band is an eleven-member ensemble of world-class talents featuring performances from a unique roster of players. The band revisits the repertoire from Davis’ electric period as a framework for modern jazz innovation. Miles Davis alums include on piano two Grammy® nominees John Beasley and Robert Irving III, Grammy® nominee Badal Roy on tabla, legendary P-funk guitarist and MD Blackbyrd McKnight, noted percussionist Munyungo Jackson and Grammy® winner Vince Wilburn, Jr., Davis’ nephew on drums. Also filling essential roles in the cast are bassist Darryl Jones, recognized for his recordings with Sting and decades long tour duty on bass for the Rolling Stones, percussionist Mino Cinelu whose music score was recognized at the Cannes Film Festival, Antoine Roney on saxophone who has toured the world with jazz veterans Freddie Hubbard and Elvin Jones, rounded out by the electronic flourishes of hip-hop turntablist DJ Logic. \n
Drawing upon the enormous pool of talent influenced through the decades by Miles Davis, trumpet duties by design are handled by special guest artists. In Chicago and Los Angeles, Grammy® winning trumpeter Nicholas Payton was featured, and at Sunset Junction it was Grammy® winner Wallace Roney, with other Jazz heavyweights set to join in the future. \n
Positive reviews have fueled demand for the ensemble. Of their debut performance during the Miles Davis Festival in Chicago, Downbeat Magazine declared, “Despite boasting a host of bandleaders in the ranks, the group played with restraint and vibe over histrionics keeping the brew on simmer...” Of the Hollywood Bowl performance Daily Variety remarked, ”Everyone rocked and socked, and it wasn’t nostalgic in the least,” The Los Angeles Times shared “The Miles Electric Band quickly pumped up a party vibe” noting the “festival friendly” material of Miles Davis’ electric period. \n
The Miles Electric Band is now a featured part of the Davis family’s plan to bring Miles Davis’ music to a new generation of music lovers through festival appearances and recordings.
