Guy, Dave: Ruby (blue smoke coloured) LP

Having lent his talents both on stage and in the studio to artists like Amy Winehouse, Lizzo, Pharrell, and Sharon Jones to currently playing every night on The Tonight Show as a member of The Roots, Dave Guy steps out on his own with a jazz record that is both unique and modern. His debut album, "Ruby" mixes his musical influences with the energies of the city that raised him, capturing different moods and inviting the listener into the world as Dave Guy sees and feels it. Recorded in Queens at The Legendary Diamond Mine, the album is produced by Homer Steinweiss and Nick Movshon and features musical contributions from Leon Michels, Marco Benevento, Claire Cottrill, and more. "Ruby" instantly sits with the classics as an album that is fully realized and not simply a collection of songs.
