NYC trumpet player Dave Guy’s hip-hop and soul-inflected jazz conjures his influences — as much A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul as Donald Byrd and Hugh Masekela - and makes it clear why he has regularly appeared on records and onstage with the likes of Amy Winehouse, The Roots, Sharon Jones, and Al Green. See him shine at MoCA fronting his own smoking-hot band.

About the Artist:

Even if you haven’t heard Dave Guy’s name, you have heard him play. Guy has lent his talents to a lengthy list of world-renown artists in the recording studio, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Pharell, Al Green to name a few, and is best known as the trumpeter playing with Black Thought, Questlove, and the rest of The Roots crew on tour, in the studio, and on TV with Jimmy Fallon. Now with Ruby, his first solo LP on Big Crown Records, Guy is stepping from the band’s flank to the front with a well deserved light shining directly on his sound.

Guy presents a debut album that could have only come from a seasoned veteran. Wildly special and authentic, the album mixes Guy’s musical influences with the energies of the city that raised him and is an invitation into the world as he sees and feels it.
