The master of the trombone Steve Davis has assembled a remarkable sextet with a shared history of three decades for his latest album, Bluesthetic - guitarist Peter Bernstein, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, pianist Geoffrey Keezer, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Willie Jones III. On each of his three previous releases for Smoke Sessions, trombonist Steve Davis has brought together a stellar sextet featuring some of the most acclaimed players in modern jazz. With Bluesthetic, Davis has done it again, but this time with a different twist - instead of enlisting other horn players, he has expanded the harmonic possibilities of the ensemble with guitarist Peter Bernstein and vibraphonist Steve Nelson. In the process, he has reunited the front line of his 1998 album VIBE UP! for the first time in over twenty years.
