O’s Notes: Tony Davis is a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer based in New York City. He assembles a fine band for Jessamine. The music emanates from Davis’s internal reflections of growing up on Jessamine Street in Hartford, CT. He’s burning on “Secret Love”, serving us a taste of Latin with “Cumbia De Dos Caras” featuring Venezuelan drummer/percussionist Daniel Prim, and relaxing on “There You Are”. We also enjoyed “Viridian” and “Trinkets From Mars” featuring saxophonist Matt Knoegel.
