Steve Davis- Systems Blue (CD)
Within the small circle of modern jazz trombonists, few would argue that Steve Davis stands apart from the crowd, not only as a singular instumental voice but also as a gifted composer. With Systems Blue, his fifth Criss Cross album to date, Davis explores a distinguished set of jazz standards while being accompanied by his rhythm section partners from One for All - pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Joe Farnsworth. Alto saxophonist Mike DiRubbo joins the group on two titles.
Tracklist:
- Surrey With the Fringe on Top, The
- Spirit Waltz
- Systems Blue
- Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, A
- If I Love Again
- Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)
- Speak Low
- Namely You
- Three and One
- My Old Flame
