Tuesday Jam Hosted by The Dan Davis Quartet

“Workin'” is from a collection of 4 landmark records released by Columbia (Workin, Steamin’, Cookin’ and Relaxin’). These tunes on these records are brilliantly written and arranged while the band maintains incredibly spontaneous and inventive playing. Miles’ ballad playing is simply sublime. Miles’ music has been inspirational to generations of jazz musicians around the world. I hope you’re able to join us in this special night of celebration.

Dan Davis is a saxophonist and educator from Edmonton AB. He completed his Masters in Jazz Studies at the University of South Florida in 2009. He leads the Way Back Whens, a brand new trad-jazz band that to released their debut record “Live at the Yardbird Suite” in 2024. Dan is also a member of The Brasstactics, Canada’s loudest brass party band. In 2015 Dan’s composition “What Happens Next” received an Edmonton Music Award for Best Jazz Recording.
