ReVoice! Festival: JAMIE DAVIS BAND / Support: Georgia Mancio and Jim Hart
Show Time 9:00pm / Doors Open 7:30pm
"One can’t help comparing Davis to Joe Williams. They share a deep form of expression that goes right to the heart of the matter…Davis has what it takes to carry on the tradition" - All About Jazz.
Jamie Davis holds a key position amongst the pantheon of great male vocalists with his incredibly rich bass-baritone voice. He began singing (Latin liturgical music, Bach, Schumann and Mahler) in his father’s church choir before joining the US Army to perform jazz, swing and blues. Today his fascinating repertoire encompasses Cole Porter, Stevie Wonder and Charles Mingus and highlights an ability to convincingly pay tribute to the past whilst remaining very much in the present. Not surprisingly his flexibility and impeccable technique has led to performances with Milt Jackson, Eddie Henderson, Melba Moore, Pharaoh Saunders, the BBC and Count Basie Orchestras. He has delighted audiences around the globe attracting no lesser fans than Clint Eastwood and Sir Michael Parkinson.
Support: Georgia Mancio and Jim Hart:
