Magazine
"Pianist Ron Davis ...
brings it all together, working in close harmony with his band to create
an impressive musical palette.... lyrical...
stunning... compelling listening."
AllAboutJazz.com
"Exceptionally
gifted and eclectic, Toronto pianist Ron Davis seems like the
living incarnation of the perpetuum mobile, buzzing from flower to flower
following his successive projects as they emerge, straight from the heart.
But there is one constant with him: pleasure. [...] the
greatest pleasure of this album is to hear how much these musicians,
selected from amongst the outsized talent of the Toronto scene, invest not
only their technique, but also their humour and their heart, in this
enterprise. [...] With [Ron], velocity is the natural
product of exuberance, enabling him to channel - and to share, always -
the unstoppable torrent of ideas accompanying it, the
every swirl of which his accomplices negotiate with aplomb. It bears
clarifying that, for all its frequent spillovers, the music of Ron
Davis is always of an exemplary structural rigour.[...] he
produces his own recordings, steering his ship with courage and integrity,
amusing with his muse, and satisfying his audiences all along.
Subarashii and hats off, Mr. Davis!"

"a smooth transition
between Musical notes that gather together to shape a true
Jazz Masterpiece. Songs like Mio Latino express a
wonderful feeling of serenity, which inspires a state of mental
tranquility." CSCR Radio
"Following in the grand tradition of
great Canadian Jazz pianist/composers, Ron Davis is a
luminary. His Best Album to Date. Truly inspired, and
inspiring." CHUO Radio
"On every
song of this new album, Subarashii Live, we hear Ron's great
virtuosity, and he made sure to compose songs where all
his musicians sounded their best ! I just loved his latin rhythms !
And everybody who know Ron are aware of his great humour, he loves to
play with words... We can find this humour in Applausable
Excuse. He also take his public by surprise with a traditional québecoise
réel for which he created the arrangements : The Réel de Pointe-au-Pic.
You must buy this CD! Claudette
Gravel, Radio-Canada
