Davy Mooney CD Release Concert

Jazz is a language that is spoken all over the world. Speaking it is a way for Davy Mooney to find a connection in other places and with other people. Traveling back to his second home in Brazil, Mooney has recorded a fantastic album of unique original music on Way Back.

Mooney knew that one of his first post-pandemic bits of business would be to return to Brazil and record this new music with Vicente, Alves, and Silveira. Mooney also wanted to include a voice that has been present since his days in New Orleans and on his earlier albums, woodwind master John Ellis. Ellis’s melodic playing on saxophone and bass clarinet suits Mooney’s sing-song pieces perfectly. So, in July 2022, the ensemble and Ellis convened at Gargolândia Studio in the woods outside of Campinas, Brazil, to record Way Back. 

Come and experience this music live with members of his band. Davy Mooney - guitar, John Ellis - tenor sax, Felipe Silveira - piano, Thiago Alves - bass, and Paulinho Vicente - drums.

In addition to this lates record, Mooney has recorded seven CDs as a leader, and many others as a sideman. Hope of Home is his latest release, on Sunnyside Records, and features the talents of Brian Blade, Jon Cowherd, John Ellis, and Matt Clohesy, who also played on Mooney’s 2012 Sunnyside release Perrier St. In promotion of these CDs, Mooney has toured the US extensively, as well performed in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Japan, and Myanmar.
