Copeland Davis Ensemble

GLAZER HALL’s Summer Jazz Series, in partnership with The Palm Beach International Jazz Festival, brings pianist Copeland Davis to the GLAZER HALL stage! Fans flock to his shows for his electrifying piano style and engaging personality. He is hailed as one of America’s greatest piano innovators.

As a child of seven, Copeland’s fascination with music began while watching a pianist on TV. He blocked out everything that was going on except that pianist. He remembers thinking that “if someone could only show me, I could learn to do that.” Thus began his education with the piano. This also set in motion his roots in gospel, which he achieved from playing in church for thirteen years. This would eventually tie together with classical training to create his unique style as a jazz innovator. His ultimate influence would become Beethoven, who used the piano as an instrument to imitate the complete orchestra. Although Copeland’s formal education became complete with a degree from Florida Atlantic University, he continually strives to learn and acquire musical knowledge.
