Deborah Davis

For the Sunday session this week, Winard Harper features a gifted jazz singer fused with the gospel, Texas Blues, a whole lot of soul, natural flowing charm and a flawless stage presence, who has carved out a niche for herself on the U.S., East Coast, European, Asian, Russian, and Middle Eastern music scenes. Deborah Davis’ distinct style of phrasing and extraordinary singing ability has induced Jazz greats such as Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey, Lou Donaldson and Harold Mabern to invite her to share their stage. Deborah Davis has also led her own bands, featuring New Yorks Young Lions of the 80’s, Ron Affif, Cyrus Chestnut, Gerald Clayton, Essiet Essiet, Benny Green, Winard Harper, Russell Malone, Delfeayo Marsalis, Christian Mc Bride, Peter Washington, Jeff “Tain” Watts, James Weidman, to mention but a few
