Anthony Davis

Composer and jazz pianist, born in Paterson, New Jersey, USA. A leader of avant-garde musicians at Yale, in 1973 he formed Advent, a free-jazz group, with trombonist George Lewis. He played in several ensembles that bridged jazz and classical forms. His compositions are structured around complex, atonal lines, though meditative simplicity is also achieved through repetition. His opera, X, based on the life of Malcolm X, was premiered in Philadelphia in 1985.
