- Portrait of Wild Bill Davison (right) with Tom Saunders, both holding cornets. "In fact, given his wild streak, it's particularly amazing that Davison was a musician of such memorable ability, beginning in childhood, he had displayed an unfailing ability to commit to memory every song he heard, and his natural ear for pitch amazed even his fellow musicians, it's equally amazing that even with a life of such excesses, Davison retained his musical abilities until the very end of his life, he practiced daily into his 80s and spent the final two decades of his life playing concert dates in Europe, where his music was extraordinarily popular," from All About Jazz website. "Tom Saunders is the protege of the famous cornetist Wild Bill Davison. Davision, who died in November of 1989, affectionately referred to Saunders as his "illegitimate, adopted son," they traveled the world together performing concerts with the Wild Bill Davison Legacy Band which included Chuck Hedges and Bill Allred. Saunders is the world's foremost authority on all things Wild Bill and Davison's influence permeates Tom's music," from PKO Records website.
