Snake Davis |
Snake Davis has one of the most passionate sax styles and bluesy approaches a-la Sanborn heard in these Isles for a while.
TIME OUT
A virtuoso saxophonist
DAILY TELEGRAPH
Snake Davis comes to the Spin for the first time; expect saxophonic fireworks from one of the great, and without doubt, one of the most recorded of British saxophonists. Snake has always managed to combine technical flair with r’n’b passion and stands comparison with the great soul/jazz artists such as David Sanborn, Grover Washington and Wilton Felder (The Jazz Crusaders). His blues inflected sound has earned him those high profile gigs with the likes of Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Soul II Soul, Chaka Khan and of course Motorhead. You will have also heard him on recordings with Cher, M People and Paul McCartney and if you like going to the cinema, you may well have heard his playing on scores of scores eg Sting, Richard Niles, Dave Stewart etc etc.
Snake has just returned from a month long tour of Japan with megastar Japanese rocker Eikichi Yazawa and will no doubt be bringing along copies of his latest album, ‘Snake Davis Live!’ which was released in October 2009. We look forward to a great evening of blues, standards and grooves.
