Talk:Jesse Ed Davis

Untitled

The slide guitarist on "Statesboro Blues" from the first eponymous Taj Mahal album (recorded Aug/1967) was Jesse Ed Davis. This was the model and inspiration for Duane Allman whose (much more famous) version with the Allman Brothers was recorded several years later (Mar/1971). --Vincent 17:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Deleted paragraph about Angelo

I deleted the paragraph about Marty Angelo, because it conveys no significant information about Davis. It is also badly written. The deleted paragraph is the following:

Prison minister and former band manager Marty Angelo writes about his experiences with Jesse Ed Davis in his book Once Life Matters: A New Beginning (ISBN 0961895446; pages 85−87). Angelo states he was introduced to Davis by drummer Gary Mallaber in 1972 while Davis was living in Marina Del Rey, California. Davis then introduced Angelo to John Lennon, who in turn introduced Angelo to heroin.

Davis' father heritage

The sources differ about the heritage of Jesse Ed Davis II, some state that is Comanche (e.g. [1]) and other sources that was Seminole and Muscogee (e. g. [2]). I think, the more reliable source is the one that comes from Jesse's cousin, Richenda Bates, that cite all of them (e.g. [3]). Alexcalamaro (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Davis's father Jesse Edwin Davis II, Asawoya, Running Wolf (1921–1976) was enrolled Comanche and of Muscogee and Seminole descent. I added sources, but additionally Oscar B. Jacobson wrote about him.[4] Yuchitown (talk) 23:06, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

I've added enough citations, but for a fun fact: Jesse Ed Davis's mom was Kiowa Princess in 1942, and she appears in Horace Poolaw's pics of Kiowa girls with Christmas presents.[5] (pic 4/16). Yuchitown (talk) 20:27, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

Article Cites Davis As Performing On Rick Danko's Solo Album

I cannot find evidence that Davis ever played in the studio with Danko, disappointing though it may be. 2601:1C0:847C:6490:B5B3:984B:6127:9ACE (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
