STEVE DAVIS
April 11 @ 7:00 pm ~11:00 pm EDT
Featuring voclaist/actress Abena Koomson~Davis, who has starred in the Broadway production of Fela!, and for over 15 years, Abena has been the lead vocalist of the funk rock band Van Davis. She is the musical director for the Resistance Revival Chorus, and her song “Joy in Resistance” is featured on their debut album, entitled “This Joy.”
Abena’s debut jazz album on WJ3 Records, entitled “Where is Love” features time-honored standards and original compositions co-written with her husband, acclaimed jazz trombonist Steve Davis.
The late trumpet giant Freddie Hubbard called Steve Davis, “one of the great trombone players in the world,” and whether on record or on stage, “Stevie D” and his group always produce compelling, enjoyable music.
Steve’s vocalist wife Abena is featured on this gig as she is on his newest all-star album, We See, his 21st as a leader. A protégé of both Jackie McLean and Art Blakey, Davis is perhaps his generation’s leading trombonist.
Tickets: $35.00 +fee $2.75
