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 steps out on his own with a jazz record that is both unique and modern. 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. Lead single "7th Heaven" opens the album with an anthemic energy as Dave's horn lines soar over thundering drums, ethereal vocals, and dancing piano. Keeping the energy high, "Footwork" is a Latin inspired number that is sure to soundtrack many a dance floor from SoHo to Harlem. The synth intro of "Pinky Ring" cleanses your palate for the mood shift when the track drops. Deep bass tones underline the impeccable drumming and Dave effortlessly finds the pocket wasting no notes as the verses and choruses trade off. The record leans into spiritual jazz vibes on "Diamond Encore" with a dark and deep almost "Axelrodish" rhythm track then picks the energy back up with the stomper "Still Standing". "Dave Wants You" has a bop all it's own with an unorthodox drum pattern that Dave anchors with his trumpet hits. The otherworldly arrangement of "Drony Boy" puts the production on a pedestal. The first intro almost serves as an intermission on the album while the second intro sets up the neck snapping track that is about to drop. A menacing guitar signals the builds and the whole thing is juxtaposed by Dave's beautiful trumpet riffs. "Quesodillas" & "Green Door" begin the autumn of the album with their mellow & intimate energy and "Ruby's Rubies", the album's closer is the perfect ending to the journey.Copyright DirectToU LLC.
