Timeline

1916

Thomas Maxwell Davis, Jr. (January 14, 1916 – September 18, 1970), was an American rhythm and blues saxophonist, arranger, bandleader and record producer.

Davis was born in Independence, Kansas in 1916.

1937

In 1937, he moved to Los Angeles, California, playing saxophone in the Fletcher Henderson orchestra.

1940

After some years playing swing and jazz, he became more involved in the West Coast R&B scene in the mid-1940s, becoming a regular session musician and arranger for the fast-growing independent record labels such as Aladdin.

He also recorded with the Jay McShann band, featuring the blues shouter Jimmy Witherspoon.

1950

"He produced, in effect, all of the record sessions for Aladdin records, Modern records, all the local independent rhythm and blues companies in the early 1950s, late 1940s in Los Angeles."

1952

By 1952, Davis had played on numerous R&B hits by Percy Mayfield, Peppermint Harris, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, T-Bone Walker, Amos Milburn, and others.

He also arranged and played on Little Willie Littlefield's 1952 "K. C. Lovin'" for Federal Records.

1955

In 1955, he left Aladdin and joined the Bihari brothers at Modern Records (and its subsidiaries RPM, Crown and Kent) as musical director and a producer.

As the Biharis' main band leader, Davis arranged the music and found the musicians.

Although his success rate started to diminish thereafter, he became regarded as an elder statesman and as "the father of West Coast R&B".

"Maxwell Davis is an unsung hero of early rhythm and blues," noted the songwriter and producer Mike Stoller.

1969

His final recording activity was in 1969, as the producer of the soul singer Z. Z. Hill.

1970

Davis died from a heart attack, in Los Angeles, California, in September 1970.
