trumpet prodigy” —Wall Street
Journal
Mike Davis and
the New Wonders return for the Bickford Theatre’s annual celebration
of Bix Beiderbecke, the enigmatic cornet sensation of the 1920s.
Enjoy a mix of hot jazz favorites and Mike’s interpretations of
classic songs as the band prepares to record an album for Turtle
Bay Records.
Mike Davis has
a voice beyond his years on his instrument. His playing is imbued
with the sounds of prohibition-era speakeasies, Hoovervilles of the
depression, and glittering jazz palaces of the swing era, creating a
timeless cocktail of American music. He now appears regularly around
New York City as the leader of the New Wonders and with Dandy
Wellington and his band, Emily Asher’s Garden Party, Glenn Crytzer,
Terry Waldo, Baby Soda, Dan Levinson, and many other traditional jazz
and swing bands. A regular at the celebrated jam session at Mona’s
Bar, Mike is one of the vanguards of young musicians bringing
traditional jazz to the forefront of the NYC music scene.
The New
Wonders, a New York City-based septet led by cornetist Mike Davis,
vividly invoke America’s Jazz Age during the 1920s, when jazz was the
soundtrack for dramatic national changes and played a central part in
people’s dreams, adventures, and romances.
