originally from wales in the united kingdom, I moved with my parents to a town near london,
I grew up listening to my mothers favourite discs - Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Lonnie Donegan, The Shadows, When I was around 12 years old I was the solo singer of my school but as I got older the classic christian hymn recitals held no interest for me,
thanks to a modern minded music teacher I found myself playing bass at the end of my school years, but when school ended the music ended with it.
a few years later I took up guitar and quickly found a new source of motivation in the acid jazz wave, from there I discovered Jimmy Smith, Lou Donalson, Grant Green, Jimmy Mcgriff amongst others and became interested in the artists who influenced them moving backwards through the history of jazz, I discovered count basie, duke ellington, charles mingus, horace silver, art blakey and charlie parker among others, at a jazz workshop where I was the only guitarist amongst 15 horns, I decided to learn the tenor saxophone, a year later I was playing sax in a local blues band, It was around this time that I discovered artists such as Louis Jordan, Louis Prima, Sam Butera, and Red Prysock
In the year 2000 I found myself living in France, and before long I had met other jazz and blues musicians who shared a passion for the older swing, jump and blues styles,
I helped to create a five peice band "big charley and the boogie men" playing a lot of louis prima covers
In 2004 I worked with a 7 peice swing/rhythm'n'blues band called "Little Big Band" a group strongly influenced by louis jordan, I formed my own quartet based in the same style - jordan, earl bostic, t-bone walker, red prysock in 2006 I had the pleasure to work with the french blues group "The Hoodoomen" and at the moment I play with some of the musicians from the hoodoomen in my own group "The Drew Davies Rhythm Combo" and we have produced our first album "ten days ten nights" with 14 original tracks, and have had the pleasure to work with some of the best musicians from the blues/swing scene in paris, I've recently recorded a tribute to a major influence of 40's and 50's swing and jump, the great guitarist Tiny Grimes, which should be out soon.
at the moment you can often find me playing jump/rhythm'n'blues & swing for the rock'n'roll dancers in clubs around paris and from time to time at certain festivals, see you around.............
