Davis
Jazz Studies
Percussionist Sa Davis dwells at the cutting edge of a new generation of hand drum technique, developed from the musical traditions of Afro-Cuban, African, jazz, Latin, rock, fusion, hip-hop, and pop drumming styles. He has worked with such artists as Tom Scott, Grover Washington, Jr., Billy Cobham, Freddie Hubbard, and Lalah Hathaway. Davis performed at Carnegie Hall with George Benson, appeared on the "Arsenio Hall Show," and has done special projects for "Nova" and "Adventure" on PBS. In demand as a studio musician, Davis has performed on motion picture and television soundtracks and produced sound effects for the film The Brother from Another Planet. His work can be heard on more than 40 recordings.
