James Davis Quintet on Tour

The James Davis Quintet—featuring James Davis on trumpet, Caroline Davis on alto sax, Sean McClusky on keyboard, Jeff Greene on bass, and Jon Deitemyer on drums—will be going on a highly-anticipated tour during the month of May winding through the Midwest and South.

The quintet's latest release, "Angels of Refraction" featuring the original compositions of J Davis, has been described as "enjoyable music filled with dreamy atmospheric, lovely tones, and stimulating solo forays played by an ensemble of young musicians who are making a name for themselves in the exciting Chicago jazz arena."
