Nathan Davis - If

The album ‘If’ was released on Nathan Davis’s tiny
bespoke Tomorrow International record label in 1976 and
only 1000 copies were ever pressed. Davis leads his superfunky
group along the narrow path between jazz and
funk that so many failed to navigate successfully in the
second-half of the 1970s. It’s an album by an artist who is a
musician’s musician. More importantly – it’s a killer.
· His career has made him a connoisseur’s favourite and his
records are all extremely collectable. He has worked with
everyone from Art Blakey to Donald Byrd and Ray
Charles, was musical director of a TV and radio station,
wrote film scores, studied anthropology at the Sorbonne
and released a number of important records.
· Davis is one of the most important jazz artists of his time
with a 50-year career span that continues to this day, and
the early Tomorrow International releases, especially ‘If’
have become serious collector’s items, as indeed have most
of Nathan Davis’s catalogue of recordings.
· Available on CD and limited vinyl (1,000) with
sleevenotes, interview and pictures.
