Abena Koomson-Davis has performed alongside Stevie Wonder, and Angelique Kidjo and is our Special Guest of Honor for this Juneteenth show commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. She is the musical director for the Women’s March Resistance Revival Chorus. A powerhouse vocalist, she has been recording (Keep Your Courage, 2003) and performing live with Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs). She also released her own debut album (Where Is Love, 2024) as well as appearing on Steve Davis’ latest album (We See, 2024).
Tim Kaine needs no introduction in this town. He lights up the stage and club every time with his humanity, stories and camaraderie. It is a joy to collaborate on these shows with Tim!
The jazz resume of Grammy-winning trombonist Steve Davis is monumental - Chick Corea, Art Blakey, Jackie McClean, Freddie Hubbard, Benny Golson, Slide Hampton, Jimmy Heath, Horace Silver, Roy Hargrove, to name a few of the international stars Steve has performed and recorded with! Special venues include the Jimmy Fallon show (with Stevie Wonder), and the White House for a tribute to Ray Charles. Nearly 200 recordings as a band leader, including 4 weeks at #1 on the JazzWeek radio charts and several months in the top 10 for Bluesthetic (2022). Steve Davis joined Chick Corea's Origin in 1997 and continued to work alongside the legendary Multi-Grammy winning pianist / composer in several settings for the next twenty-two years.
Violinist Dave Kline has performed with Chick Corea, Grammy-winning gypsy jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembel, Grammy-winning saxophonist David Murray (co-founder World Saxophone Quartet), Grammy-winning composer D.D. Jackson, Grammy-winning violinist Zach Brock (Snarky Puppy). Dave’s shows are known for their high intensity and exhilaration, and his unusual, stunning compositions combining beauty and power, stretching the violin from jazz to funk to blues and beyond. His most recent CD "Shifting Borders" charted #1 on the Roots Music Jazz Chart for 16 weeks.
The band will include Buddy Speir electric guitar, TJ Turqman electric bass, Olaolu Ajibade drums all stellar players in their own right!
