“Steve is one of the greatest Trombone Players in the world. He expresses things on the trombone that people don’t usually play on that instrument.”— Freddie Hubbard (2007)
“Steve can create the effect of a string section or brass section, playing some of the most melodic improvisations ever heard in jazz.”— Chick Corea (2001)
“Steve Davis is one of my favorite trombone players of all time. I like his sound, I like the way he writes. He is a very special musician.”–Jackie McLean (1998)
Chick Corea on Dave Kline: "I love your musical universe...it's so fresh and creative." "Man, you've created an amazing amount of fresh new music - for one CD! I was interested and entertained the whole way through. Wonderful, man!”
