Great show from Harold Davis and Friends
HAROLD Davis and Friends brought the curtains down on Jazz Week in the Corporate Area at the Redbones Blues Café in St Andrew on Saturday night.
The well-attended event resonated with stellar performances from Davis and friends, including his daughter Ashley-Anne Davis, saxophonist Warren Harris, songstress Maria Myrie, comedian Dr Michael Abrahams and Trinidadian pan master Darren Shepherd.
Davis was as splendid on vocals as he was on keyboard.
He kicked things off with an instrumental of Cannonball Auderly’s Mercy Mercy Mercy then demonstrated his vocal competence with Frank Sinatra’s cover of Bart Howard’s Fly Me To The Moon.
On Father’s Day eve, Davis introduced his daughter Ashley-Anne, who was well received for her poetic delivery of You Are Beautiful, Ten Things I Have Learned Over The Decades, and Scars.
Hornsman Warren Harris made his presence felt with For The Love Of You, Who Is Holding Donna Now, My Funny Valentine, and Watermelon Man.
Dr Michael Abrahams was amusing with his comical suite of personal life experiences.
For Maria Myrie’s first appearance, she gave a delightful performance of Dreamland, Feel Like Jumping, First Cut Is The Deepest, and Someone Loves You Honey. She would later team with Davis for their take on Quando Quando and For You.
The pan man Darren Shepherd’s entertaining set included Master Blaster, Feel Like Making Love, Blue Bosse, ending with Bob Marley’s I Shot The Sheriff.
