| Orbert Davis To Perform at New York's Kavehaz One of Chicago's busiest and most sought after musicians, Orbert Davis, will perform with his quintet on Wednesday, January 11, 2006 at Kavehaz in Chelsea. Davis' appearance at this Eastern European NYC jazz club piggybacks off his participation in this year's International Association of Jazz Educators Conference at the Hilton New York, where he will conduct two clinics entitled “Connecting with Kids in the Classroom” and “Connecting with Kids in Concert.” Davis debuted his critically acclaimed 55-piece, third stream jazz orchestra “Chicago Jazz Philharmonic”, to rave reviews in September 2004, headlining the Chicago Jazz Festival. Following a “back by popular demand” performance in August 2005 on the Pritzker Pavilion stage at Chicago's Millennium Park, Orbert's new orchestra is set to perform at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on March 4 of this year. He has shared the stage with such notables as Wynton Marsalis, TS Monk, Stevie Wonder, Dr. John, Jon Faddis, Kurt Elling, Ernie Watts, Ramsey Lewis, Grover Washington Jr. and The Smithsonian Masterworks Jazz Orchestra. Orbert's latest and third CD entitled Blue Notes (3Sixteen Records), is the follow-up to his critically acclaimed Priority, which was named Top-10 best jazz CDs in 2002 by the Chicago Tribune. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
