___________________________________________________________ Ron Davis: Too pop for jazz. Too jazz for pop. With a bite of Bartok."One of Canada's A-List pianists!" - CFRB Radio"Ron Davis has been one of Canada's hottest acts in both bop and pop circles for many years, and it's obvious why. Offering the daring stabs of Monk and the lushly evocative swoops of Art Tatum, pianist Davis's bold runs crackle with confidence, and his flawless upright-and-drums backup illuminates every note.
