Ron Davis: D'Hora
This is the opening track on the just-released Pocket Symphronica, the 10th recording from acclaimed Toronto jazz pianist/composer/bandleader Ron Davis. His fluent playing meshes perfectly with the string section on a tune that mashes up jazz and world music with both exuberance and elegance. Davis describes Pocket Symphronica as “the pocket sized recording of my 2013 album Symphronica with The Windsor Symphony Orchestra.” Ace accompanists here include Mike Downes, Roger Travassos, Kevin Barrett and Andrew Downing.
