Description
Alvin Davis is a Jazz Saxophonist, singer songwriter and composer from Birmingham, UK and a seasoned musician with 5 albums under his belt. A prolific composer/songwriter he has composed a wide range of jazz and roots orientated music from Fusion, House, Broken beat through to Soul and R&B. 'Dub The Jazz' is a mixture of these styles but essentially incorporates Smooth Soul with the Reggae grooves of his Jamaican roots. This sensual and contemporary mix is captivating. As a session player, Alvin has worked with the likes of Andy Hamilton, Edwin Starr, The Foundations, Neville Staples (Specials & Fun Boy Three), Alton Ellis, Macka B, Jackie Graham, Nigel Kennedy and David Hinds of Steel Pulse. Releasing his debut album 'Let It Blow' (Sony Tristar 1992), was for Alvin; "An opportunity to bare my soul in the studio and fulfil my ambitions." For the critics it was "an erotic mix of horn and sax with expressive sensuality. 'Let It Blow' took Alvin around the world, with the album reaching number 4 on the American R&R (New Adult Contemporary) National Airplay chart, winning him the first round of the critical acclaim that has become a hallmark of his career on both sides of the Atlantic. The album also broke into the Top 10 of the influential Gavin A2 Adult Alternative chart in America. In fact, such was the Stateside success of 'Let it Blow' that Alvin was even a topic of conversation on the top rated US TV programme The Arsineo Hall Show, which counts the likes of Madonna among its guests. It even attracted attention from Bill Clinton, then president of the United States. Bill loved the album so much that he sent a letter from the White House expressing his appreciation of Alvin's talent.
