It is a privilege to talk with some wonderful musicians. Today we speak with Steve Davis, one of the world’s great trombonists. Jeff met him on a jazz cruise over the winter, and Bill played music with him at a mutual friend’s party. Steve tells us about growing up in Binghamton, New York, and discovering jazz when his father took him to a concert with world-class musicians. Ever since, he has stretched for the stars – and played with many of them. Steve discusses his musical growth, his influences, and the power of good mentors. He also dishes on a notable recording session where he forgot to take his horn.
It’s a great conversation and we will continue it in another episode.
