Arc and Edge showcases Chicago trumpeter and composer James Davis at his most refined and adventurous, blending jazz, classical chamber music, and improvisation through his ensemble Beveled. Known for its distinctive instrumentation—two flugelhorns, two bass clarinets, bass, and drums—Beveled creates a warm, textured sound that lives up to the group's name, evoking softened edges and nuanced angles.
Formed in 2013 and revived after pandemic-related pauses, the group delivers 11 new compositions that highlight Davis’s lyrical writing, Impressionist influences, and deep connection to Chicago’s creative music scene. Tracks like “Long Road Home” and “Rothko Sketches” explore melodic depth and color, while others such as “Balancing Act” and “Search for Itness” lean into rhythmic complexity and atmospheric groove.
Featuring standout performances from longtime collaborators like Chad McCullough, Geof Bradfield, and Juan Pastor, Arc and Edge is both an ensemble triumph and a personal statement—an elegant, emotionally rich contribution to modern creative jazz.
