Today, the Spotlight shines On Grammy-winning pianist and composer Kris Davis.Kris joined us in the wake of the September 2023 release of her album Live at the Village Vanguard (Pyroclastic Records).
Live at the Village Vanguard is the second release from her band Diatom Ribbons, an adventurous quintet featuring drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, turntablist and electronic musician Val Jeanty, bassist Trevor Dunn—and new addition, the guitarist Julian Lage.
In addition to talking about that band and album, Kris guides us through her musical path and development while hipping us to her important work at the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.
