Celebrating the life of musician Jesse Ed Davis
Guitarist Jesse Ed Davis (Kiowa) was an in-demand session player starting in the mid 60s, appearing on dozens of recordings with artists such as Taj Mahal, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton and Jackson Browne.
Davis appears on solo albums by three of the four Beatles. And he toured with The Faces, playing alongside legends Rod Stewart and Ron Wood.
The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is mounting an exhibition celebrating Davis’ life and work along with a tribute concert featuring Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, and Joy Harjo.
