At twenty-one years old, trumpeter Mike Davis has a voice beyond his years on his instrument. His playing is imbued with the sounds of prohibition-era speakeasies,
Hoovervilles of the depression, and glittering jazz palaces of the swing era, creating a timeless cocktail of American music. He appears regularly around New York City with
Dandy Wellington and his band, Gordon Webster, Emily Asher’s Garden Party, Gelber and Manning, The Astor Boys, and many other traditional jazz and swing bands. He is a student of Laurie Frink at the Manhattan School of Music.
