About This Event
Saxophonist Jesse Davis, shaped at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts under Ellis Marsalis and a 1989 DownBeat "Most Outstanding Musician" awardee, built a recording career with Concord Jazz and played with leaders such as Jack McDuff and Illinois Jacquet. His quartet appears at Smalls Jazz Club, where his hard‑bop leaning sets favor line and swing over display and provide a focused example of straight‑ahead jazz.
