about

96kHz - 48-bit HD Audio with digital booklet liner notes by Jeff Davis.

Trombone master Steve Davis convenes a remarkable all-star sextet at Smoke Jazz Club for a stunning concert recording. We See features Eddie Henderson, Ralph Moore, Renee Rosnes, Essiet Essiet, and Lewis Nash.

***

Trombonist Steve Davis was still in his late teens when he first shared the stage with trumpet master Eddie Henderson. At the end of the set, Henderson encouraged Davis, telling him, “Man, you're going to be a star one day.”

That prediction has long since been fulfilled. Davis is revered as one of the leading trombone voices in modern jazz, featured on more than 100 recordings with such legends as Freddie Hubbard, Chick Corea, Horace Silver, Cedar Walton and Hank Jones. He served a brief tenure in the formidable ranks of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, and later co-founded the all-star sextet One for All. JazzTimes called him, “an updated amalgam of J.J. Johnson and Slide Hampton,” hailing his “inventive ear for harmony and passion for melody,” while no less an icon than Freddie Hubbard lauded him as “one of the greatest trombone players in the world.”

So, to call the ensemble that Davis has assembled for his latest release, We See, an all-star sextet is definitely no exaggeration. The album features trumpeter Eddie Henderson, tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore, pianist Renee Rosnes, bassist Essiet Essiet, drummer Lewis Nash. Recorded live at Smoke Jazz Club, We See is the latest release in a series of live recordings celebrating the 25th anniversary of the club and the tenth anniversary of its record label.

“We've seen a lot collectively and individually,” Davis says. “We're continuing to see and search right now. It’s so gratifying to be in the midst of all that musicality and creativity.”
