Jamie Davis's rich baritone voice has been paired
with the musical magic of some of the world's most famous talent.
Davis counts Patty Austin, Tony Bennett, George Benson, the Count
Basie Orchestra, Rosemary Clooney, Jimmy Cobbs, and Billy Cobham
among the super stars he has performed with.
At the beginning of his career, Davis sang with an
elite group in the Army's Special Services in the 1960s, who toured
military bases performing. He studied in New York City under the
renowned Harlem vocal coach, Edward Boatner and performed and recorded
with the MSFB Studio Orchestra at the famous Sigma Sounds Studio
in Philadelphia.
In 1975, Jamie arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area,
formed new musical connections and began performing with Milt Jackson,
Eddie Henderson, Dave Lieberman, Melba Moore, Allen Smith, Vernon
Alley, Pharoah Saunders and others.
Davis has traveled and performed extensively around
the world as a headliner and as the lead vocalist for the Count
Basie Orchstra. His full deep baritone voice was tapped to narrate
'A Time to Remember,' a docudrama which won the 1997 Black American
Independent Filmmakers Award. In 1999 in recognition of his steady
accomplishments in the San Francisco area jazz scene, Davis was
invited to be a part of the prestigious 'Bay Area's Giants of Jazz'
photograph, a event inspired by the acclaimed, historical 'A Great
Day in Harlem' photo of 1952.
