Big Crown Records is proud to present Dave Guy’s debut album “Ruby”. A front to back instant classic, a modern day NY Jazz record, another Big Crown Sureshot.
Having lent his talents both on stage and in the studio to artists like @amywinehouse , @lizzobeeating , @pharrell , and @sharonjones and currently playing every night on @fallontonight as a member of @theroots , Dave steps out on his own with a jazz record that is both unique and modern.

Recorded in Queens at @diamondminestudio , the album is produced by @homer808 and @nick_movshon and features musical contributions from @elmichelsaffair , @marcobenevento , @clairo , @shannnnnnnnnnnny , and more.
