Monks is excited to present the legendary trombonist Steve Davis for an intimate, listening-room style concert as part of our pop-up jazz series @ Revival Coffee:
Born in Worcester, MA in 1967, Davis was raised in Binghamton, NY and graduated in 1989 from Hartt School’s Jackie McLean Institute. It was with McLean’s guidance and recommendation that Davis landed his first major performance with Art Blakey in NYC. In 1998, Steve was named the TDWR (Rising Star) in the Trombone Category and later named as "Trombonist of the Year" 3 years consecutively by The JJA (2010-2013). Widely regarded as one of today’s leading voices on the trombone, his lyrical, hard-swinging style first gained him broad recognition.
Steve has released 20 albums including: Think Ahead (2017), Say When (2015), For Real & Gettin’ It Done (2014) featuring his longtime musical colleagues Larry Willis and Nat Reeves along with drummer Billy Williams, saxophonists Abraham Burton (For Real), Mike DiRubbo and trumpeter Josh Bruneau (Gettin’ It Done), in addition to over 100 recordings with names including: Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard, Horace Silver, Cedar Walton, and Hank Jones. In 2018 his original composition “Optimism” was included in Christian McBride’s Grammy Award winning album “Bringin’ It”. Steve Davis’ latest release with his sextet “Correlations” (label: Smoke Sessions Records) features Joshua Bruneau, trumpet; Wayne Escoffery, tenor saxophone; Xavier Davis, piano; Dezron Dougles, bass; Jonathan Barber, drums; and Caro Baptista, percussion on “Batista Revenge”.
He leads his groups; "All-Star Quartet" with Larry Willis (Alone Together/Mapleshade 2006), and his exciting "Outlook Quintet", featuring rising stars Mike DiRubbo (alto sax), David Bryant (piano), Dezron Douglas (bass) and Eric McPherson (drums). Steve regularly performing at Smoke and Smalls Jazz Club (NYC); The Greater Hartford Jazz Festival, Baltimore’s Eubie Blake Center, The Richmond Jazz Society, Hartford Jazz Society.
Steve performs internationally with Dizzy Gillespie’s All-Stars, Jimmy Heath, Ron Carter, Chick Corea & My Spanish Heart Band, Origin, and he has appeared at The Jimmy Fallon Show with Steve Wonder, at the White House Tribute to Ray Charles (PBS), and records with the collective unit "One For All" (Eric Alexander, Jim Rotondi, David Hazeltine, John Webber and Joe Farnsworth).
