Jon Davis

Jon Davis unleashes inspired creativity on One Up Front, his first date for Posi-Tone. Listeners are invited to kick back and dig the sounds as Davis bravely embarks on an interpretive exploration of stunning melodicism. This trio date features the solid harmonic foundation of bassist Joris Teepe and the bombastically explosive metrics of drummer Shinnosuke Takahashi. Featuring a tasty and soulful program that covers a wide variety of styles, sounds, and moods, from the straight ahead and classic to the funky and modern, "One Up Front" succeeds as a hard hitting performance that straight-ahead jazz enthusiasts can really sink their teeth into.
