Electric J


The day before Halloween, I got a treat.

An interesting fact, well at least to me, I have three saxophone heroes Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane. There are three saxophone players in Dallas, that I’ll go most anywhere to hear play: Shelley Carrol, Keith Anderson and JASON DAVIS.

My sister had her 40th birthday party and it featured Mahogany and the Jam Box band featuring musical director Jason Davis (I suggest he’s the feature).
I first met this cat playing at the South Dallas Cultural Center monthly jam sessions. I was mesmerized listening to him play. And there hasn’t been a time when I haven’t been impressed every time I hear him play. He told me his email address was Electric_J @... It could be only one reason I remember that and that is because the cat is just that…electric. I have never not seen Jason turned up to 100 when he’s playing his horn.

Jason is one of the best musicians this city has to offer. I suggest you get by to see him whenever you can.

Check his trio out November 1st at Buttons in Addison. And Mahogany will be there November 6th.
