The Jean-Luc Davis Band will perform original compositions that draw from Jean-Luc’s eclectic musical experiences. Bassist Jean-Luc Davis is an active performer in the Denver area and regularly tours nationally. His group for the evening will include guitarist Matt Michaud, trumpeter Tom Gershwin, and Lance Croucher on drums. In addition to leading his own group, Jean-Luc is a member of the Aakash Mittal Quartet, Carmen Sandim Sextet, Andy Hackbarth Band, Adam Revell and Essence Rider, and the Matt Fuller Group. Additionally, Jean-Luc has performed with Ron Miles, Jayme Stone, 9th and Lincoln Orchestra, Art Lande, Greg Harris, and Amir ElSaffar. Band members Gershwin, Michaud, and Croucher have played with various ensembles in New York and elsewhere, but now are primarily based in Colorado.
The ‘Fresh Jazz and Crisp Vinyl Series’ focuses on jazz musicians living and working today, whose names are not yet embossed into history, but whose energy, wisdom, well worn instruments, and presence in the jazz scene are further defining our admiration for this life form called Jazz music. Selections from the vinyl archive will thus serve as a remembrance to all the jazz greats who came before the jazz musicians invited to play at this bi-monthly series.
