Jesse Edwin Davis was born September 21, 1944 in Norman, Oklahoma. He began his musical career in Oklahoma City. He was Kiowa from his mother and Kiowa and Cherokee from his father. The father was a famous artist and designer and wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, but he chose music. He started playing in the late 50s and quickly established a reputation as a good guitarist and pianist, playing with John Ware (later Emmylou Harris drummer), John Selk (later Donovan bassist), Jerry Fisher (later Blood, Sweat & Tears singer), Mike Boyle, Chris Frederickson, Bill Maxwell and other well-known musicians. Davis graduated from Northeast High School in 1962 and one of his classmates was Mike Brewer, later Brewer And Shipley. In the mid-60s, Jesse left the University of Oklahoma and went on tour with Conway Twitty. After the tour, Davis ended up in California, where he became friends with Leon Russell and began working as a session musician for the Taj Mahal. During this time, he played on a variety of albums in styles ranging from hard rock to jazz. There is a famous photograph of Davis sitting with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. On several Lennon albums, Davis is listed as a session member. He also plays with David Cassidy, Albert King and Willie Nelson. In 1971, Davis signed with Atco (an affiliate of Atlantic Records) to release two solo albums. As a result, he released three: "Jesse Davis" (1971), which became his most famous album, "Ululu" (1972) and the album "Keep Me Comin'". In the 70s he appeared on albums by John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, Keith Moon, Jackson Browne, Steve Miller, Harry Nilsson and Van Dyke Parks. He was a guest at the grandiose George Harrison's The Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971 at Madison Square Garden. Davis was brought in to fill in for Eric Clapton when it was unclear whether he would take part in the concert, however, both ended up playing. In the late 70s, Davis retired from music due to problems with drugs and alcohol. In the mid-80s he played with The Grafitti Band, where he combined his music with the poetry of Native American activist John Trudell. A recording of their concert in the spring of 1987 at the Palomino Club in Hollywood is known, where they performed with the Taj Mahal and George Harrison, Bob Dylan and John Fogerty came on stage and performed several songs together. On June 22, 1988, Davis was found dead in the laundry room of his home. Death was due to a heroin overdose.
