  3. Malcolm-Jamal Warner with “Miles Long”


In partnership with Indy Jazz Fest, join us for an evening with Emmy-nominated actor and Grammy Award-winning poet and musician, Malcolm-Jamal Warner. The show will be an amalgamation of his many talents and musical styles, and it will be exceptional. Many fans don’t know that the actor known to millions of television viewers across America for his famed acting career—such as his breakthrough role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show or, more recently, as Dr. AJ Austin in FOX’s medical drama The Resident—is also a multi-Grammy award-winning bass player and spoken word poet with his own jazz-funk band, “Miles Long.”


Warner has released four critically acclaimed albums that meld spoken word, jazz, soul, and funk music: Miles Long Mix Tape, Love and Other Social Issues, Selfless, and his most recent album, Hiding in Plain View, which earned him a 2023 Grammy nomination for “Best Spoken Word Album.” In 2015, Warner nabbed his first Grammy Award for “Best Traditional R&B Performance as a Featured Performer” on Robert Glasper’s version of the Stevie Wonder classic “Jesus Children of America,” also featuring Lalah Hathaway.
A can’t-miss intimate evening with a charismatic man of many talents!
