Mel Davis • Revealed

Melvin Davis has understood the power of his hands to transport the sound of instruments from his imagination to a concert hall or nightclub dating back to his childhood. He played his first piano recital at 9, and at 15, when cats his age were learning how to charm young ladies, Davis was sneaking into local night clubs, hoping to charm the Hammond B3.

But 29 years ago, Davis lost the ability to play with his hands. A freak accident ripped a finger from his left hand, which was also split diagonally. He needed eight painful years and seven grueling operations to rehabilitate that hand and those fingers before he could play again. Even his brain underwent reconstruction. It had to adjust to Davis now playing bass with his left, chords and melodies with his right; the opposite way he learned and opposite the way most musicians play. 'Revealed' is his third release as a leader

Melvin Davis ha entendido el poder de sus manos para transportar el sonido de los instrumentos de su imaginación a una sala de conciertos o un club nocturno que se remonta a su infancia. Tocó su primer recital de piano a los 9, ya los 15, cuando los gatos de su edad estaban aprendiendo cómo encanto señoritas, Davis fue furtivamente en clubes nocturnos locales, con la esperanza de encanto el Hammond B3. Pero hace 29 años, Davis perdió la posibilidad de tocar con las manos. Un extraño accidente arrancó un dedo de su mano izquierda, que también fue dividida en diagonal. Necesitaba ocho años dolorosos y siete operaciones agotadoras para rehabilitar esa mano y esos dedos antes de que pudiera volver a tocar. Incluso su cerebro se sometió a la reconstrucción. Se tuvo que adaptarse a Davis ahora tocando el bajo con la izquierda, acordes y melodías con su derecho; en sentido contrario se enteró y frente a la manera tocar la mayoría de los músicos. "Revelado" es su tercer lanzamiento como líder
