About Me:
Recognized as one of the finest and most versatile jazz singers of her generation, Julie Davis is everything from scat-singer to balladeer. She grew up listening to the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and others on her parents extensive vinyl collection. Singing jazz came natural to Julie from a young age. A confident singer with a compelling stage presence who possesses a wry kittenish voice with claws. She is a stylist that seeks an original twist on everything she performs; a risk-taker who's scatting suggests she learned in her bassinet. Now she feels it is her turn to expose newer generations to a young American art form called jazz.
Kelly Dow is a world-class guitarist who's primary influences are Joe Pass, Jimmy Bruno, Django Reinhardt and the modern day European gypsy jazz virtuosos. He blends Be-Bop, Blues, Flamenco and Classical styles to create a strong individual sound delivered with sensitivity, power, and creativity. "Orchestral", "Swinging", "Fat" "Multi-hued" and "Unexpected" are a few words that critics have used to describe his performance.
They've toured Japan, London, and New York, composed and performed original music for the TV show "FoodNation with Bobby Flay", and produced "DIVAS OF JAZZ". Their CD "Naked" won Best Jazz Album-Florida Music Awards, and was featured in JazzTimes Magazine's 2002 year in review issue. D&D were voted Best Jazz Artists-New Times Magazine and Julie Davis was voted Best Jazz Vocalist-City Link Magazine. Recent performances include the 2007 Palm Beach Jazz Festival, a Penn State University tour, and they were awarded a juried showcase at the prestigious Performing Arts Exchange 2007 in Louisville, KY. Recently Davis and Dow won a two year grant by the Florida Cultural Arts Division to perform in underserved communities.
Together they have perfected a seamless blend of vocal instrument and stringed instrument. Davis and Dow are the real thing; exciting to hear and watch. A new baby is on the way too! ...A New CD that is!!!
