Kris Davis is currently one of the most innovative and influential voices in the jazz world. The music of the Grammy Award winner (2020), who has received numerous accolades, is regarded as groundbreaking by critics and fellow musicians alike. To date, the Canadian virtuoso has showcased her talents as a pianist, composer, and bandleader on over 20 recordings and collaborated with artists such as Dave Holland, Terri Lyne Carrington, John Zorn, Craig Taborn, Ingrid Laubrock, Julian Lage, Tyshawn Sorey and Esperanza Spalding. On this evening, Davis will present her new album with her trio.The title, ‘Run the Gauntlet,’ serves as a metaphor for overcoming a series of challenges to achieve one's goals. In this project, Davis pays homage to six trailblazing women pianists who have left an indelible mark on her journey as a pianist and composer: Geri Allen, Carla Bley, Renee Rosnes, Angelica Sanchez, Marilyn Crispell, and Sylvie Courvoisier. By dedicating the album to these extraordinary women, Davis honors their resilience and groundbreaking contributions as leaders in the jazz community.
