Eloquent trumpet prodigy Mike Davis (Wall Street Journal) has avoice beyond his years on his instrument. His playing is imbued withthe sounds of prohibition-era speakeasies, Hoovervilles of thedepression, and glittering jazz palaces of the swing era, creating atimeless cocktail of American music. A graduate of the ManhattanSchool of Music, Mike began his trumpet instruction at age nine withJerry Oram in Seattle and went on to study with Laurie Frink duringhis undergraduate studies. Both encouraged his interest in early jazzstyles, which led to his beginning to work professionally in New YorkCity during his college years. He now appears regularly around NewYork City as the leader of the New Wonders and with Vince GiordanosNighthawks, David Ostwalds Louis Armstrong Eternity Band, DandyWellington and his band, Glenn Crytzer, Terry Waldo, Dan Levinson,and many other traditional jazz and swing bands.
