about

“The highly respected contemporary trombonist Steve Davis is a perfect bandleader to present the vast riches of (J.J.) Johnson.”
-- Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal

"There's more to Davis than replicating a key influence...The approach is rooted in the past, but is delivered with a fresh-minted swagger. Davis is outstanding..."
-- Mike Hobart, JazzWise

"State of the art music performed by some of New York's finest musicians...There is not a wasted note here."
-- C. Andrew Hovan, All About Jazz

#1 JazzWeek radio chart (3 weeks)

***

Steve Davis, one of the most beloved trombonists in modern jazz, delivers a swinging tribute to his hero the great J.J. Johnson, SAY WHEN. Joined by an impressive, all-star sextet—Eddie Henderson, Eric Alexander, Harold Mabern, Nat Reeves, and Joe Farnsworth—Davis breathes new life into six Johnson compositional gems, as well as Cole Porter’s classic “What Is This Thing Called Love,” Warren and Gordon’s “There Will Never Be Another You” and John Coltrane’s “Village Blues.” He concludes the set with a surprising rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching In” based on Davis' vivid memory of hearing J.J. perform it late in his career.
