“Violins, cellos and saxophones? It wasn't a typical jazz ensemble. An age range that makes a school district seem limited? It certainly wasn't the usual. But the rarities made for an entertaining jazz concert Friday evening at Heard-Craig Hall in McKinney. Two more weeks of the Arts and Music Guild's Summer Music Intensives clearly paid off.”

Chris Beattie- Star Local News

“Pieces of A Dream “Who U Wit?,” for example, offers some great sax playing by Jason Davis, the kind that makes you stand up and go, “Yeah!””

Bob Soergel - Smooth Jazz Vibes

“The Dallas Jazz Collective, led by saxophonist Jason Davis, showcased more than 20 stellar musicians Saturday night at Dallas’ new City Performance Hall.”
