Every piece of art that functions as both a creative artistic message and a crafty stylistic statement should also ideally convey an artist’s unique point of view to his audience. Guitarist Tony Davis clearly succeeds in doing just that with “Golden Year,” his debut album. Supporting him on this hard hitting session are a solid rhythm section comprised of several old friends: pianist David Bryant, bassist Dezron Douglas, and powerhouse drummer Eric McPherson. With a nice combination of creative compositions and clever adaptations, “Golden Year” is insightfully straight ahead, steadily swinging, and refreshingly melodic enough to provide a wide assortment of bright moments to discerning jazz fans everywhere.
Tony Davis is a jazz guitarist with a difference – an artist who’s not out to revolutionize his instrument in jazz, but who still finds a way to play with a very distinct approach! Tony’s quality isn’t easy to put in words – he’s not working the fret in a weird way, or using any sort of effects or gimmicks – but he does get a very specific sound out of the instrument, one that’s full of shimmering colors and light – often quite chromatic, but usually with a dexterity that might match more sharper-toned musicians! Davis’ sound springs into life from the very first note on the set – given nice direction from David Bryant on piano, Dezron Douglas on bass, and Eric McPherson on drums – and the record also features work from Steve Wilson on flute and alto on two tracks, and Steve Davis on trombone on two as well. Alina Engibaryan sings on two of the album’s tracks – “Lake Sebago” and “Orange Feathers”, both originals by Davis – and other tunes include “Night Ride”, “Braeburn”, “El Gran Birane”, “Hypnagogia”, and a nice version of “Con Alma”.
