Jazz
Jesse Davis Quartet
About This Event
Saxophonist Jesse Davis brings his quartet to Smalls Jazz Club. Shaped at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts under Ellis Marsalis, Davis built a steady Concord Jazz recording career after studies at Northeastern Illinois University and winning DownBeat’s "Most Outstanding Musician" award in 1989; his work with Jack McDuff and Illinois Jacquet informs a hard‑bop approach that at Smalls favors line and swing over display.
