Kris Davis Trio

The JazzLab

DownBeat Pianist of the Year: 2020, 2022 and 2025.

GRAMMY‑winning pianist and composer Kris Davis stands at the forefront of New York’s contemporary jazz scene, described by The New York Times as a beacon for “deciding where to hear jazz on a given night.” Across her career she has collaborated with artists such as Terri Lyne Carrington, Dave Holland, Craig Taborn, John Zorn and Esperanza Spalding, and in 2021 was named a Doris Duke Artist alongside Wayne Shorter and Danilo Pérez.

Joined by the extraordinary talents of Robert Hurst on double bass and Johnathan Blake on drums, the Kris Davis Trio will deliver contemporary jazz at its highest level, with a suite of music that is “precisely and unmistakably the sound of today” (DownBeat). Shaped in New York and experienced live at The Jazzlab this October.
