Jeff Davis (drums)
Drummer/composer Jeff Davis is known as the propulsive force behind a host New York mainstays. Troy Collins (All About Jazz) says that “like many of his generation, his writing encompasses a number of genres, yet Davis understands the importance of creating a context for such diversity. Sequencing individual tunes into a suite-like program, the set unfolds episodically, seamlessly blending divergent moods.” And Bruce Lee Gallanter (Downtown Music Gallery) described Jeff Davis’s first disc as a leader as “a powerful debut from one of Downtown’s best drummers.” Davis guides his band just to the edge of chaos while at the same time exercising focus and restraint. The group weaves through Davis’s compositions with a hypnotic ease, creating moods that are at times peaceful and other times explosive.
