Trombonist Michael Davis's work has been featured with Bob Mintzer, Aretha Franklin, Buddy Rich, The Rolling Stones and countless others, in addition to his own 11 recordings as a leader.
Open City is the reflective spirit and joy with being able to make music again post-pandemic with the palette of a large ensemble to express it. With 24 of the finest musicians in the jazz world today, this collection of ten larger than life encounters is a daring portrayal of what's possible when individual talents come together as one.
From Monday, September 4 through Friday, September 8, one cut from the Open City album will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
