Cool YuleDAVIS AND DOW
Loverly An international sensation. Available online at DavisandDow.com and in the lobby after the show.
Multi award winning jazz duo Davis and Dow have chemistry. Soul mates that are two strong halves of one BIG sound. Davis
and Dow tackle jazz and pop standards with a daring sense of abandon. Their style is deeply rooted in the classic jazz tradition but with a playfulness that keeps the music fresh and fun. Their arrangements are
unique and inventive, always seeking a new approach to everything they do. Recognized as one of the finest and most versatile jazz singers of her generation,
Julie Davis is everything from scat-singer to balladeer. She grew up listening to the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and others on her parents extensive vinyl collection. Singing jazz
came natural to Julie from a young age. “A confident singer with a compelling stage presence who possesses a wry kittenish voice with claws”. “She is a stylist that seeks an original twist on everything she
performs; a risk-taker who’s scatting
suggests she learned in her bassinet”. Now she feels it is her turn to expose newer generations to a young American art
form called jazz.
Kelly Dow is a world-class guitarist who’s primary influences are Joe Pass, Jimmy Bruno, Django Reinhardt and the modern
day European gypsy jazz virtuosos. He blends Be-Bop, Blues, Flamenco and Classical styles to create a strong individual sound delivered with sensitivity, power, and creativity. “Simply orchestral in
support”, “Swinging”, “Fat” “Multi-hued” and “Unexpected” are a few words that cr i t ics have used to descr ibe his performance.
They’ve toured Japan, London, and New York, composed and performed original music for the TV show FoodNation with Bobby Flay, and produced Great Jazz Divas: a multimedia show that celebrates
women, music, and history. Their CD
Naked won Best Jazz Album-Florida Music Awards, and was featured in JazzTimes Magazine’s year in review issue. D&D were
voted Best Jazz Artists-New Times Magazine and Julie Davis was voted Best Jazz Vocalist-City Link Magazine. Recent performances include the Palm Beach Jazz Festival, a Penn State University tour,
and they were awarded a juried showcase at the prestigious Performing Arts Exchange in Louisville, KY.
Recently Davis and Dow won a two year
grant by the Florida Cultural Arts Division to perform in underserved communities. “Davis and Dow are the real thing; exciting to hear and watch”. Loverly their new CD received rave reviews and international
airplay including XM/Sirius satellite. It ranked #4 on the charts and was listed on multiple top 10 radio playlists.
