Myles Ahead Music Co.

Myles Tate, III is a Chicago-born, Dallas–Fort Worth–based pianist, drummer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, producer, educator, and bandleader. He began playing drums at church at age six and took up piano and Hammond B-3 organ at twelve. He studied jazz piano at Roosevelt University and Michigan State University, building a sound shaped by jazz, Gospel, Blues, Soul, and Swing.

Tate has performed and collaborated with artists including Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon, Rodney Whitaker, Orbert Davis, Nicole Mitchell, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Harvey Mason, Slum Village, Dwele, and Big Daddy Kane. He leads Myles Tate: Spirit and Swing, a spirit-driven improvised music project with hard-bop roots that brings Gospel, Soul, and Swing together. As an educator, he shares both the craft of music and the understanding behind it. His debut jazz album, Genesis, is coming soon.
