JAZZ at Caffe Lena: Chuck Lamb Trio with special guest Trombonist Steve Davis
Jazz

Join us for another extraordinary evening of jazz as Caffè Lena’s monthly jazz series returns with resident host and pianist Chuck Lamb at the helm. A pillar of Caffè Lena’s jazz programming, Lamb brings fresh energy, deep musicality, and an open-hearted spirit to every performance.

This October, Chuck welcomes a very special guest: internationally acclaimed trombonist Steve Davis.

Nicknamed “Stevie-D” by the late Jackie McLean, Davis is widely regarded as one of today’s leading voices on the trombone. His lyrical, hard-swinging style has earned him recognition across the globe, from his early days with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers to collaborations with Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard, Horace Silver, Cedar Walton, and Ron Carter. Davis has released 20 albums as a leader, appeared on more than 100 recordings, and performed with the Dizzy Gillespie All-Stars, Jimmy Heath, and Christian McBride, whose Grammy-winning album Bringin’ It featured Davis’ original composition “Optimism.”

Named Trombonist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association for four consecutive years (2010–2013), Davis has played on the stages of Smoke, Smalls, Lincoln Center, the White House, and festivals worldwide. His artistry combines a deep respect for jazz tradition with adventurous, expressive improvisation that continues to inspire musicians and audiences alike.
