#Dave guy

Was rewatching the episode with Jeff the Accountant recently and also there was an ofmd post talking about Ed being a little guy, and it made me think of Steven universe G.U.Y.S. (Guys under your supervision) and gee if it didn’t just fit perfectly on so many levels for a crossover…

Raised in the East Village, acclaimed and highly sought-after trumpeter Dave Guy was surrounded by hip-hop and the hustle that seemed to define the city in the 90s. During those formative days, he and his playing style were influenced by the likes of Donald Byrd and Hugh Masekela, but also by A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.  His time at LaGuardia Performing Arts High School furthered this path. Guy remembers sharing playing time with  Big Crown Records co-founder Leon Michels and highly sought-after drummer Homer Steinweiss. “Being in the All-City Jazz Big Band, I would see them rehearsing all the time,” the New York-born and-based musician recalls. “They were already doing things with The Dap-Kings back then—which was crazy.” His voice as a player began to take shape and continued to be refined through his studies at The Manhattan School of Music and The New School — and then playing withSharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Charles Bradley and Menahan Street Band, The Sugarman 3 and more. He has played on albums from the likes of Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Pharrell Williams, Lee Fields, the legendary Al Green — er, correction, the Rev. Al Green — and a lengthy list of others. And adding to a growing profile, Guy currently plays with The Roots live and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Guy finally steps out into the much-deserved spotlight with his full-length debut, Ruby. Slated for a September 20, 2024 release through Big Crown Records, the 12-song album sees the highly sought-after NYC scene mainstay exploring New York jazz and pushing the boundaries of the style by incorporating elements of hip-hop and soul in a way that’s both unique and modern.  As fate would have it, a classic case of “when one door shuts, another opens” was really what got the ball rolling on the album. “I never wanted to force my own project,” Guy explains. “There was always a lot going on between things—the timing was never right.” But when The Tonight Show went on hiatus during last year’s Writers’ Strike, there was an unexpected free moment.  Within days, Guy started recording sessions with Steinweiss and Nick Movshon (bass). What initially started out as a just an opportunity to create music, quickly took shape and direction when they ended up laying down something that felt wildly special and authentic. The result is an album that captures different moods and serves as an invitation to the world as Dave Guys sees it and feels it.  Last month, the acclaimed and highly sought-after musician shared the album’s first single “7th Heaven,” a composition anchored around a bed of twinkling and dancing keys, a strutting Movshown bass line, swaggering boom bap drums from Steinweiss and ethereal backing coos from Clairo/Claire Cottrill serving as a funky and anthemic bed for Guy’s regal and soulful horn melody. The result is a composition that’s swaggering yet cinematic, while capturing the energy and vibe of a day — or night — in and around New York.  “It has a groove and is more in line with what the guys and I are known for with Menahan Street Band, but it is also in-your-face and catchy,” Guy says. “It’s a bit of an ode to Tijuana Brass too, a Herb Alpert-esque track with a tight horn line and has that energy that pops.” Ruby‘s latest single “I’ll Follow You” is a gorgeously serene bit of counterbalance anchored around a driving rhythm section and juxtaposed by Guy’s soulful and meditative horn melody with a subtle call and response. Sonically, “I’ll Follow You” — to my ears, at least — is a bit of a synthesis of Kind of Blue-era modal compositions with J. Dilla and Stones Throw Records-like beat tapes. It feels thoughtful and warmly familiar yet new — and much like its predecessors evokes the energy and feel of Guy’s hometown.

Dave Guy: Ruby Album Stream

Trumpeter Dave Guy releases his debut album, Ruby. Guy's work as a supporting musician is usually with The Roots on tour and on The Tonight Show. He also counts Lizzo, Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones, and Pharrell as past employers.  On his first solo album, he blows lines of fluffy, weightless notes on a purely instrumental jaunt. He has some of the sass and soul of Freddie Hubbard, who also played his horn with a purposeful delicateness rooted in the blues. "Drony Boy" belongs in a drama or mystery film for its sly rhythm movements and pensive lingering notes. Guy knows how to create moods with his instrument and that includes the celebratory nature of "Footwork," which infuses the air with playful phrases to incite dancing and partying. The palette of his emotions is not always so clear-cut, as "Pinky Ring" sounds like cool driving music or the backdrop to anything happening in everyday life, a musical morning stretch. Dave Guy's Ruby is his first major recorded step from band member to leader and it is a contemporary triumph of post-bop jazz traditions, including the West Coast school of chill.

Roots Trumpeter Dave Guy Releases Still Standing

Dave Guy's "Still Standing" captures the last days of summer with the warm brass of his horn situated in both jazz and funk worlds. The trumpeter is usually busy playing with The Roots on The Tonight Show and tours. "Still Standing" is from his debut album, Ruby, and it follows the previously shared soulful panache of "Footwork" and "Pinky Ring," the Donald Byrd-esque "7th Heaven," and the swinging "Morning Glory." Guy's love for footprints of jazz from the past is not nostalgia but inspired playing of the present. The Brooklyn-based Big Crown label releases Ruby on September 20th digitally, on vinyl, cassette, and CD.

Jesus and Judas
