Newark native, Jamale Davis started playing bass in 2003 as a means of actively understanding what it takes to express oneself via the art of Jazz. His studies consisted of playing along to records and teaching himself to read music, but his best education was once he started hanging at Smalls and Fat Cat, his musical home. These places helped and inspired Jamale in the cultivation of his particular aesthetics to bass playing: the acoustic, non-microphone approach, gut string setup with a concentrated lean towards more straight-ahead bebop idiom translated in his repertoire and approach to everything musical.
Since 2012 Jamale has led his own group at various places in the NYC/NJ area that consists of some of the best musicians on the scene today. This has also contributed to Jamale releasing several albums as a leader under the Gut String Records label- a label that represents high quality progressive jazz music found in the New York area.
Jamale has recorded four albums as a leader, and a handful of records in supporting cast efforts.
