MILES MOSLEY & THE WEST COAST GET DOWN set for Playboy Jazz Festival / Monsters and Critics Q&A

When Miles Mosley hits the venerable Hollywood Bowl stage this weekend for the 39th annual Playboy Jazz Festival – Los Angeles' premiere jazz event – he'll have "breakout artist" written all over him. After years of playing with some of the biggest names in music, Mosley, 36, and his six-piece band will have all eyes on them in their first performance in Mosley's hometown since his debut album, Uprising, was released by Verve in May. Make no mistake: Mosley is very much a creature of Los Angeles and its unique blend of cultures.  PHOTO: Aaron Woolf Haxton
