JAMIE DAVIS
Grammy Award winning vocalist JAMIE DAVIS holds a position amongst the pantheon of great male vocalists with a compelling full baritone voice and a passion for his craft that leaves his audiences uplifted and feelin' good...really good.
Jamie's musical education began in the choir of his father's Pentecostal Church in Mansfield, Ohio. His unique bass-baritone voice brought life to liturgical music sung in Latin. During his time in the U.S. Army he sang not only memorable show tunes, but also a wide range of swing jazz and blues for the Special Services elite group.
After studying under the renowned New York coach Edward Boatner, he moved to San Francisco securing opportunities to perform with Milt Jackson, Eddie Henderson, Melba Moore and Pharoah Saunders. The year 2000 brought exhilarating performances with the Count Basie Orchestra. On that experience Davis reflects, "Having all that sound behind you is just amazing. You've got to ride the current".
He's been described as a fine wine which has stood the test of time, constantly innovating jazz classics, 'rolling out' the blues and performing with one foot in the past and the other in today. jamiedavis.com
