Steve Davis Quartet Steve Davis - trombone David Hazeltine - piano Peter Washington - bass Joe Farnsworth - drums
Additional personnel: Mike DiRubbo - alto saxophone
Within the small circle of modern jazz trombonists, few would argue that Steve Davis stands apart from the crowd, not only as a singular instumental voice but also as a gifted composer. With Systems Blue, his fifth Criss Cross album to date, Davis explores a distinguished set of jazz standards while being accompanied by his rhythm section partners from One For All - pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Joe Farnsworth. Alto saxophonist Mike DiRubbo joins the group on two titles. |
