Stanton Davis, Jr.

b. 10 November 1945, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. After learning and playing trumpet locally, Davis went to the Berklee University Of Music, graduating by the end from the 60s, after that continued his research at the brand new Britain Conservatory of Music. He proved helpful in radio and night clubs within the Boston region, gradually increasing his abilities and knowledge with a number of engagements with market leaders such as for example Lester Bowie, Charlie Haden, George Gruntz and Richard Muhal Abrams. As these performers recommend, Davis’ musical inclinations rest on hard bop and post-bop regions of jazz. He in addition has obviously indicated a wish to encourage youthful music artists and in this path he has trained thoroughly, including spells at Wellesley and Bennington schools, NEM, with Southeast School, Massachusetts, within the middle-70s to early 80s. Also in the first 80s, he expanded his own research at Wellesley. His even more commercially orientated function contains stints with Broadway theater pit rings. He has documented with some if the aforementioned named artists and in addition with Ray Anderson as well as the Art Outfit Of Chicago.
