On his latest record, the Grammy-nominated composer and pianist Omar Sosa pays tribute to Miles Davis’ 1959 masterpiece Kind Of Blue, without including a single song from the original. Instead, the album, Eggun, is a tribute to the spirit of Davis. Hear Sosa talk about the new project -- and perform songs live in the studio.
