Loved Jesse! Did Doctor My Eyes with him and many projects after that. Such a great musician and guy and just tragic.........

funny how the most sensitive and creative are prone to feel so much that they get lost in it. it's both a blessing and a curse. the rawness of the cruel world on those so sensitive is a thing they try to escape.

Jesse's Davis Love His GUITAR

For years I thought the “ Doctor my Eyes” solo was done by Danny Kortchmar. It was always one of my favorite guitar solos in that it just seemed to be this melodic stream that flowed from someone that was very consciously tuned to the music. 50 or so years later, after hearing Jesse Ed play along side Elliot Easton live and also running monitors at a Taj Mahal concert, I found out on Leland Sklar’s KZfaq channel that Jesse Ed Davis had played that solo. I then found out that Duane Allman got a lot of his slide licks from listening to Jesse Ed playing on Taj’s records. It is truly heartbreaking that such a great talent has left us and I have deep empathy for the pain felt by those who were a part of his life.

No offence intended but, when it come to feeling, Danny Kortchmar couldn't carry Ed Davis' shoes.

The first time I heard him, as a youbg gitar student in 1970, not yet knowing who he was...it was his guitarplaying on Leon Russell's version of Hard Rain Is Going To Fall.....his playing just blew me away, His playing was so concise, economical, yet soulful, wiht a Great sense of touch and rhtymn. Jesse Ed Davis was a Huge influence on me as a guitarist.

I LOVED the guitar parts Davis played on Taj Mahal's self-titled album and Taj's "Natch'l Blues" album. Had no clue who it was at the time, and only learned recently that he played the phenomenal solo on "Doctor My Eyes." Oh, the damage done.

A documentary about native musicians I watched a good friend of Jesse said he went on tour with Rod Stewart in the 80's and he never did heroin before that after the tour he came back a addict and it sent his life into a downward spiral.

Got to know Jesse some when he lived in Hawaii. He said he and Ronnie used to do speedballs sometimes during the shows when there was the breaks for drum solos. That was the beginning.
