Steve Davis (born April 14, 1967) is an American jazz trombonist.

Early life and education

[edit]

Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, Davis was raised in Binghamton, New York. He grew up with jazz music being played in his household.[1] He studied jazz under Jackie McLean at the University of Hartford Hartt School.[1]

Career

[edit]

McLean recommended Davis to Art Blakey, and he joined The Jazz Messengers in 1989.[1] After Blakey's death, Davis joined the Hartt faculty in the early 1990s.[1]

Davis played in Chick Corea's Origin, and recorded with them in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[1] Davis has been a member of the sextet One for All since its inception around 1996.[2] Along with Davis, the band features Eric Alexander, Jim Rotondi, David Hazeltine, John Webber and Joe Farnsworth.[2] Davis led his own bands in New York City in the mid-2000s.[3]
