Tim Davies
Had a great discussion with Jim Kull last night about his jazz band concert out at St. Charles High School. I'm going to sit in on guitar with them, on two charts -- one called Iron Chef Big Band, and another called Chocolate Requiem. Both were written by a very good friend of mine named Tim Davies.
Tim is one of the most talented and driven musicians that I know. He's an excellent drummer and percussionist and an extremely knowledgable and creative composer/orchestrator/arranger. He's originally from Australia, but currently lives in Los Angeles. He has his own big band in L.A., made up of some of the best session musicians in town. These cats can BLOW. Seriously. And these musician's broad musical skills are tested time and time again, because Tim's charts really stretch musical boundaries. Iron Chef Big Band has HEAVY influences from Death Metal music, and Chocolate Requiem (my favorite piece of his) seamlessly blends hip-hop beatz, fusion and funk grooves, and free jazz moments into an extraordinarily expressive work of art.
I can't wait to play these pieces with Jim's band!
