Catalog Number: SSR2407LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 730789964285 Trombone master Steve Davis convenes a remarkable sextet at Smoke Jazz Club for a stunning live concert recording, We See, featuring Eddie Henderson, Ralph Moore, Renee Rosnes, Essiet Essiet and Lewis Nash. The first single "We See" is the Thelonious Monk penned title track that also serves a statement of purpose for this sextet of modern masters. The magic of live jazz performance is truly captured on this freewheeling, satisfying album but is particularly found on this swinging rendition. Like his hero J.J. Johnson, Davis is one of the great composers / arrangers working today. Although the song is familiar, Davis writes lush harmonies that highlight the group's individual voices. From Ralph Moore's opening tenor solo backed by Renee Rosnes' Monk inspired comping, trumpet legend Eddie Henderson's turn, and Davis' outstanding closing solo accompanied by Nash and Essiet, this recording is one of the great versions of this classic.
