By necessity, jazz trombonists tend to be inspired by music of the early jazz and swing eras, because the instrument lost favor around the time bop became ascendant and all young jazz fans wanted to become either Charlie Parker or Miles Davis. Massachusetts-born, New York-based trombonist Steve Davis bucks that trend, however: he's a post-bop player all the way, down to covering Jackie McLean's Parker tribute, "Bird Lives." (Guest trumpeter Roy Hargrove contributes an outstanding, fluid solo on this track as well.) Update is a small-combo date featuring Davis and Hargrove in front of a four-piece rhythm section, with a song selection featuring two by Wayne Shorter, a lovely rendition of Billy Strayhorn's underappreciated gem "Daydream," and a cool, Miles-like take on Ray Drummond's little-known composition "Leanin' and Preenin'" that shows off a killer walking bassline by Nat Reeves. Unexpected song choices, smart arrangements, and Davis' excellent, understated playing make Update one of Davis' strongest albums as a leader. ~ Stewart Mason
The latest from Steve Davis follows up his previous release of all original material with a rewarding program comprised of some seldom heard gems from the modern jazz canon. The last of the Jazz Messenger trombonists shows off his pristine tone and flawl

What more could Latin jazz fans ask for, seriously? Not only are all the players just this side of top guns, they have been playing together in the same group for just shy of ten years. An all-star lineup and the genuine synergy that comes with regular collaboration do not happen often. When they do, well, it's clave magic. Pianist Edsel Gomez's playing is sly and intuitive. Bassist John Benítez, whose Descarga in New York ...

Most of The Sky Blues' career has been supported by rowdy bar crowds. After multitudinous requests for a recording of their classic cover renditions as well as originals, we finally have here a self recorded, direct-off-the-stage capture of a typical high energy, raw, intense, emotionally charged, get-yer-ya-yas-out, Sky Blues rock 'n' blues show. For old and new fans alike, enjoy it....while you can.THE SKY BLUES (Early BIRD MANCINI) have released to critical acclaim their second compact disc, "THE SKY BLUES of Boston LIVE" on Second Story Records. Their debut CD, "Pie in the Sky" helped bring them to the forefront of the regional blues scene, and also facilitated their invitation to perform at the 1997 North by Northeast Music Festival and Conference in Toronto. The Sky Blues have made numerous appearances on TV and radio, and have continuously performed live shows in Boston and throughout greater New England. Also, the band was chosen as a national semi-finalist in Musician Magazine's 1996 Best Unsigned Band Contest. THE SKY BLUES is the culmination of years of collaborative professional musicianship and songwriting by Ruby and Bill Mason (AKA Ruby Bird and Billy Carl Mancini). Their extensive touring career in the Northeast has included opening engagements for nationally acclaimed artists such as David Crosby of Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Gregg Allman Band, Beatlemania, The Pousette-Dart Band, Jonathan Edwards, James Montgomery, and The Mighty Sam McClain. THE SKY BLUES perform their ...
