Andy Davies Quartet

Andy Davies Trumpet

Andy Davies Quartet plays it the way bebop was meant to be played live: trumpet out front, changes moving fast enough that the rhythm section earns its keep, standards treated as a starting point rather than a script. Davies is a fixture of the Giants of Bebop stage at Soho Jazz Festival, the kind of trumpeter who can quote Gillespie without ever sounding like a tribute act. At Piano Bar Soho, that means a set built for a room that likes to talk back — solos that build, choruses that get handed round the band, and a quartet that clearly enjoys pushing each other.
