Vigsy’s Club Tip: Roy Davis Jr at The Jazz Cafe
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 26 January 2018
Another favourite to emerge from the 1990s Chicago house scene, Roy Davis Jr plays The Jazz Cafe this evening, with support from Dom Servini of Wah Wah 45s.
Influenced by the likes of Lil Louis and DJ Pierre, Davis Jr enjoyed chart success in the UK way back in 1997 via his breakout track ‘Gabriel’, which remains a definite anthem all these years on. Plenty of other releases have followed since, of course, both on his own label and via an alliance with XL Recordings.
A multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2016 hasn’t stopped Davis Jr from both recording and performing, and it’s great to see him back in London to play this top little venue.
Friday 26 Jan, The Jazz Cafe, 5 Parkway, London, NW1 7PG, 10.30pm-3am, £15. More info here.
