Jamie Davis was born in 1949. By age 13, Jamie had formed his first band and experimented with spiritually tamed ballads and early rhythm and blues.

In 1975, Jamie arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area, formed new musical connections and performed with Milt Jackson, Eddie Henderson, Dave Lieberman, Melba Moore, Allen Smith, Vernon Alley, Pharoah Saunders and other U.S. stars.

Davis broke into the international jazz kats scene in the late nineties. He worked in Rome, Madrid, Venice, Verona, Genoa, Munich, Stuttgart and Bern, and traveled with some of that region's finest musicians.

In 2000, Jamie joined the Count Basie Orchestra. The next three years were spent traveling worldwide, performing with the likes of Nancy Wilson, Patty Austin, George Benson, Wallace Rodney, Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Dianne Reeves, Buster Williams and Jimmy Cobbs.

His first solo CD, "It's All About Love," was released in late February 2002.
