Saxophonist working in the dark, low end of jazz. Tenor in the doom jazz band BLK LDG and makes tape-worn beats as meatmaker.
Andrei Davis is a saxophonist, composer and producer, born and raised in Providence, known for a dark, subtone-heavy sound built around the bottom of the horn.
He plays tenor in BLK LDG, a doom jazz ensemble mixing open improvisation and effects-soaked saxophone. The band was nominated for Rising Star (Rhode Island) at the 2026 New England Music Awards.
On his own, he makes production-heavy, saxophone-led downtempo as meatmaker.
Available for shows, sessions and events, and teaches private saxophone, theory and music production lessons.
Slow, heavy, cinematic jazz from Providence. Saxophone and trumpet through effects over keys, bass and drums: ambiance and texture first, with long open-form improvisations and late-night bar-room atmosphere.
Saxophone-led downtempo and trip-hop. Heavy on production, with dusty drums, warped tape and deep low end built around the horn. Music about the ordinary places we pass every day.
