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.
