The Carn Davidson 9 was formed at the beginning of 2011 as a collaborative project between JUNO Award nominated artists, trombonist William Carn and saxophonist Tara Davidson. It is a nine-piece, chord-less ensemble that utilizes its seven horns as both melodic and harmonic devices, anchored by bass and drums. This collaborative project is an opportunity for both artists to arrange their own compositions for this chamber jazz instrumentation, shining new perspectives on their existing repertoire. Their previous two albums, Murphy and Nine were both nominated for JUNO awards.
