Hailing from a long-running tradition of American jazz, The Keith Davis Trio blends expressive originals with inventive takes on jazz classics. Led by veteran pianist and educator Keith Davis, the trio features Ron Brendle on bass and a rotating drum chair with Justin Watt or Al Sergel contributing dynamic percussion. With a career spanning performances with the Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw orchestras and collaborations with David 'Fathead' Newman and Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, Davis brings a refined yet fearless approach to the piano bench. The ensemble is a staple of the Southeast scene, delivering straight-ahead modern jazz and freer improvisation in intimate listening-room settings and regional stages.
