As we continue to talk with trombonist Steve Davis, we ask about some of the people that he’s performed with: Chick Corea, Jimmy Heath, Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, Christian McBride, and pianist Harold Mabern, Jr. It’s quite a list, and Steve offers insight into each of these great musicians. He also offers a few tips for young musicians. What’s at the top of the list? “Be a good human being.” We conclude the show with Steve playing one of his tunes live in concert.
