Charles Davis (tenor sax), Tardo Hammer (piano), Lee Hudson (bass), Jimmy Wormworth (drums). Recorded March 26, 2006 and April 19, 2006 at Bennett Studios, Englewood, New Jersey.

The Chicago-bred multisaxophonist Charles Davis had a long and distinguished history before he ever set foot in Smalls, but while there he penned another distinguished musical chapter in his storied career and his influence is in no small part what helped make Smalls the authentic ground for musical development that it is.

The title of this record, Land of Dreams, comes from a tune of the same name that was played often in sessions in Chicago in the 1950s, and is now featured here. Based on the familiar “Cherokee,” the A section was written by Eddy Heywood with the bridge being composed years later by Charles Davis. I have a personal fondness for Charles’ original tunes such as the elegant “Strangeness” included here. I hope our next project will document more of his beautiful compositions. - Luke Kaven, producer
