A recent addition to the ever-growing Eyes & Ears jazz collective, James Davis’s Beveled features a mellow-toned front line of paired flugelhorns and bass clarinets unfurling impressionistic chamber jazz vignettes. The compositions slowly shift and allow for breakout solos, but maintain a steady contemplative tone. Tomorrow's show at Jerry's - Wicker Park will serve as an album release party of sorts, as the group's first release is due on November 25.
