With its dreamy melodicism and throbbing percussion, the bolero may be the most romantic of all South American dances. Roger Davidson, the versatile, feverishly prolific composer-pianist, has assembled some of the most outstanding Latin music recording artists to make this album inspired by his love of boleros and rumbas. The group includes Cuban-born, Miami-based drummer Ignacio Berroa, a master of the bolero who among his extensive credits, plays on Charlie Haden's two recorded salutes to the bolero, Land of the Sun and the Grammy-winning Nocturne; Pernell Saturnino, one of the premiere percussionists in Latin jazz, who has recorded with David Sanchez, Paquito D'Rivera, and Gilberto Gil; David Finck who has been firstcall bassist for Dizzy Gillespie, Ivan Lins, Rosemary Clooney, Glen Campbell, among countless others; Marco Granados, the Grammy-nominated Venezuelan flutist; Kenny Rampton, a New York-based trumpeter who has played in the Lincoln Center Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra and Chico O'Farrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Big Band; Francisco Pancho Navarro, the Argentine guitarist who is a tango specialist with an across-the-board flair for Latin music.
Pensando en Ti presents original boleros and rumbas composed by Roger Davidson as well as a handful of classics played with panache by this outstanding ensembe.

Roger Davidson
Active Decade: '00s
Genre: Jazz
A flexible and diverse acoustic pianist who lives on the East Coast, Roger Davidson has a long history of playing both European classical music and straight-ahead bop (on top of being knowledgeable of various styles of Latin music, including Afro-Cuban salsa, Argentinean tango, and Brazilian samba). As a jazz improviser, Davidson has favored a very lyrical and melodic approach. Bill Evans (the pianist, not the saxman) is a major influence, and Davidson's jazz playing also brings to mind pianists like Red Garland, Hank Jones, Wynton Kelly, and Tommy Flanagan; in other words, the more accessible bebop and hard bop pianists of the 1950s and '60s who swung passionately but brought a strong sense of melody and lyricism to the table. Although Davidson's classical training comes through when he is playing straight-ahead jazz, he has no problem swinging or improvising; Davidson is able to compartmentalize, improvising spontaneously in a jazz setting and faithfully sticking to what is written in a Euro-classical setting.
Born in Paris in 1952 to a French mother and an American father, Davidson moved to New York City when he was a baby and has spent most of his life in the northeastern part of the United States. The '70s found the pianist earning a master's degree in composition from Boston University and a master's in choral conducting from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. After that, Davidson spent some time in Germany (where he studied voice at the Lichtenberger Institute) but returned to the northeastern U.S. and once again lived in Boston (where his activities ranged from directing a chamber orchestra to composing religious choral music). His interest in jazz was strong, however, and one of the people who encouraged that interest was the late producer Helen Keane (who was best-known for managing and producing Davidson's idol, Bill Evans). In the late '80s, Keane produced an album-length jazz demo cassette for Davidson, although she didn't live long enough to produce an official album for him. Nonetheless, Davidson went on to record some jazz albums that were released commercially, including the Latin-influenced Mango Tango. Between 2002 and 2004 Davidson recorded jazz for the independent Soundbrush label; his Soundbrush dates during that period included Ancient Voyage and Rodgers in Rio (an album of Brazilian jazz arrangements of standards by the famous Tin Pan Alley composer Richard Rodgers). Soundbrush was also where, in 2002, Davidson and Argentinean bassist Pablo Aslan (of Avantango fame) teamed up as the Tango Project and produced a tango-minded CD titled Amor por el Tango (Love for the Tango).
