Style is not a given
Not many musicians reach the level of artistic personality where you can unmistakably recognize them
It takes character, roots, honesty, soulfulness
Nathan Davis had style
His tone on tenor was unique
So was his soprano sound and his distinctive approach to flute
His musical world was equally original and knew no boundaries
This concert in Paris is audible proof that as a performer, his fluid phrasing, distinct articulation, booming bottom register, growls and shrieks were fuelled by tremendous drive and furious invention - the man was on fire!
These live sessions demonstrate the limitless invention of Nathan’s solos
Holding no punches, weaving signature phrases, shouts and riffs into his solos, he was a fierce and fervid performer
With a sort of hollow resonance at the heart of his reedy and warm sound, Nathan Davis was a highly original artist, from an era when having a distinct sound on your instrument was the grail of jazz artistry
Harold Land, Jimmy Heath, John Gilmore, Paul Gonsalves, Charlie Rouse, George Coleman, Booker Ervin, Clifford Jordan ... Jazz is made of such giants and Nathan Davis was one of them
