Drummer/composer Jeff Davis is known as the “propulsive force behind a host New York mainstays” (Matthew Miller - All About Jazz), including Kirk Knuffke, Robin Verheyen, Anna Webber, Simon Jermyn, and Michael Bates.  A mainstay and in-demand drummer on the creative NYC music scene for nearly two decades, Jeff Davis is a passionate poet at the drum set.  A powerful improviser and compelling composer, Davis has contributed as a sideman to a great number of important music projects, in addition to successfully leading his own bands. On his most recent album, The Fastness, Jeff Davis showcases his command of a deeply focused and distinctly improvisational style.  Troy Collins (All About Jazz) says that “like many of his generation, his writing encompasses a number of genres, yet Davis understands the importance of creating a context for such diversity. Sequencing individual tunes into a suite-like program, the set unfolds episodically, seamlessly blending divergent moods.”  And Bruce Lee Gallanter, of the Downtown Music Gallery, described Jeff Davis’ first disc as a leader as “a powerful debut from one of Downtown’s best drummers.” Davis has performed with such artists as Chris Speed, Ralph Alessi, Ben Monder, Marc Ducret, Mark Helias, and Cameron Brown.  Jeff Davis has performed at several prominent jazz festivals, including the North Sea Jazz Festival, Oslo Jazz Festival, the Gent Jazz Festival, the Vancouver Jazz Festival, and the Ear Shot Jazz Festival.  Jeff leads several ensembles, including the Jeff Davis Trio (featuring Russ Lossing and Eivind Opsvik), Tone Collector (Tony Malaby and Eivind Opsvik), and the Jeff Davis Band (featuring Jason Rigby, Jon Goldberger, Russ Lossing and Eivind Opsvik). Davis released a Live Album on Fresh Sound New Talent Records, Dragon Father, featuring Kirk Knuffke, Oscar Noriega, Russ Lossing and Eivind Opsvik.  Jeff Davis' most recent release on Fresh Sound is entitled The Fastness and features Tony Malaby, Russ Lossing, Jonathan Goldberger and Eivind Opsvik.  

“We Sleep Outside (Loyal Label) is the restlessly episodic debut by Jeff Davis, a drummer of broad experience in left-of-center jazz circles.” 
Nate Chinen (New York Times)
