Simeon Nathanael Davis | Of Narratives & Nocturnes | Album
With a career spanning two continents before he was 20, arrangements that received awards from both Downbeat (2021) and ASMAC (2021), and compositions described as “on a scale with Everglades by Terence Blanchard,” (Gary Lowe, WUNH), composer, bandleader, and saxophonist Simeon Nathanael Davis makes a profound compositional debut with Of Narratives & Nocturnes.
Featuring eight original through-composed works written programmatically to elements of mythology, religion, and visual art and accompanied with Davis's original poetic prose and illustrations by designer Studio Céleste, Of Narratives & Nocturnes is a holistic storytelling experience that transcends genre norms and immerses listeners in the worlds Davis creates.
