Melvin Lee Davis Releases “Genre: Music”

Melvin Lee Davis has released Genre: Music, an album that stands to defy singular musical styles.

The bassist, who also produced the record, enlisted the help of many of his friends, including drummer Ron Bruner, Jr., Lakin, Oscar Seaton, Jesse Milliner, Jeff Babko and more.

As the title suggests, the 14 tracks are a unique blend of styles that the bassist wants to be heard as simply “music,” though Davis lists his favorite genres “as labeled by the music industry” as gospel, blues, jazz, contemporary jazz, R&B, pop, soul/funk, and hip hop. He has worked with artists ranging from Chaka Khan to Robben Ford.
