About Me
Described as an innovative joyful Jazz Quartet performing original music and jazz standards, the Jenny
Davis Quartet features Jenny Davis, vocals; Marina Albero, piano; Ted Enderle, bass; and Xavier
Lecouturier, drums. Redefining the art of singing, award-winning vocalist, composer, and bandleader
Jenny Davis has established herself as an innovative, progressive composer, gaining the attention and
respect of musicians, critics, and fans throughout the US and abroad. ROOTS MUSIC declares Jenny “a
talented singer-composer – knocking it out of the park!”
Celebrating 17 weeks on top of the jazz charts, her 5th album Rearranged, is deeply inspired by her
devotion to promotion of human rights advocacy. The album includes a collection of original scores and
brings together an all-star cast of musicians with whom Davis has previously collaborated, including a
special alliance with three-time GRAMMY-nominated pianist Jovino Santos Neto, and featuring Chuck
Deardorf (bass), Dmitri Matheny (flugelhorn), Mark Taylor (saxophone), Kate Olson (saxophone), and New
York-based Sirius String Quartet. “An odyssey of a fully-fledged composer who has skillfully crafted an
opus of collected experiences and memories and lovingly shares them with her audience” – EARSHOT
