He studied at the Eastman School of Music and has played with famous singers and bands including The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Michael Jackson. Nowadays he gives music clinics all over the world and writes music etude books for brass instruments. Davis is also a music entrepreneur and even has his own trom-bone made by Shires.Duke Ellington - Caravan   Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington was an American composer, pianist, and big-band leader. His career spanned more than 50 years and included lead-ing his orchestra, composing an inexhaustible songbook, scoring for movies, composing stage musicals and world tours. Ellington himself wrote over 1,000 compositions and also collaborated with members of his band and arranger Billy Strayhorn. “Caravan” was written by Ellington’s valve trombonist, Juan Tizol, in 1936. The first version of the song was recorded in Hollywood and was performed as an instrumental by Barney Bigard and His Jazzopators. All of the players belonged to Ellington’s orchestra. Even though Ellington was present at the recording date, the session leader was Bigard.John Coltrane - Mr. P. C. John William Coltrane was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes in jazz and later was at the forefront of free jazz. He organized at least fifty recording sessions as a leader during his recording career, and appeared as a sideman on many other albums, notably with trum-peter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk. “Mr. PC” is a 12 bar minor blues composed in 1959. The song is named in tribute to the bass player Paul Chambers who had accompanied Coltrane for years. It first appeared on the album Giant Steps where it was played with a fast swing feel.Jack Teagarden - Meet Me Where They Play the BluesWeldon Leo “Jack” Teagarden known as “Big T” and “The Swingin’ Gate”, was a jazz trombonist, bandleader, composer, and vocalist, regarded as the “Father of Jazz Trombone”. Teagarden’s trombone style was largely self-taught, and he developed many unusual alternative positions and novel special effects on the instrument. He is usually considered the most innovative jazz trombone stylist of the pre-bebop era, and did much to expand the role of the instrument beyond the old tailgate style role of the early New Orleans brass bands. He recorded with legends such as Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Bix Bie-derbecke, Glenn Miller, and even formed his own band in 1939. The coda of Teagarden’s recording career is the album Think Well of Me, recorded in Janu-ary 1962 and made up of his singing and trombone playing, accompanied by strings, on compositions by his old musical associate Willard Robison.
