Carn Davidson 9

The Carn Davidson 9 was formed at the beginning of 2010 as a collaborative project
between JUNO winning artists, trombonist William Carn and saxophonist Tara Davidson.
CD9 draws on the body of compositions by its co-leaders.  This 9-piece chordless
 ensemble utilizes its seven horns as both melodic and harmonic devices, anchored by
bass and drums.
The Carn Davidson 9’s unique sound is made stronger by an all-star lineup of prominent
 Canadian artists who are all exceptional ensemble players as well as outstanding soloists.
 In 2014, CD9 released their debut, NINE, which was nominated for a 2014 JUNO nominated 
debut recording, NINE. In 2017, CD9 released their follow-up recording
entitled Murphy, which was also nominated for a 2017 JUNO Award. Finally, in 2021, the
 group released their critically-acclaimed 3rd recording entitled The History of Us which 
explores themes of identity, love and loss. The History of Us garnered a 3rd JUNO nomination for the group.
