Thank you Patrick Karenwattananon of the NPR blog A Jazz Supreme for the mention:
Another musician-blogger who I've just discovered: Jazz pianist Ron Davis and his Pianobabbler. (What is it with Canadian/Canada-based jazz pianists and blogging?)

Recently, jazz pianist and composer Ron Davis, who makes his home in Toronto, Canada, released his seventh album, My Mother’s Father’s Song, and in a departure from his earlier projects which were well populated with his original compositions, only four of the thirteen tracks on Davis’s new recording, were composed by him. Davis who along with Michael Kaeshammer are arguably the two best Canadian pianists on the music scene today, covered Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida,” Charles Trenet’s “La Mer,” and Stevie Wonder’s “For Once In My Life,” while adding to the mix, his own songs, “The Climb,” “Sergei’s Shuffle,” “Danza Daniela,” and “Tumba Ron Rumba.”

A brilliant adventure. On his latest recording, My Mother's Father's Song, Ron Davis embraces both his family's rich cultural heritage, and boldly re-engages with the jazz standard.
