| 1985 - Humphrey Stewart Davis Sr., a blind jazz bassist and a native of New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on this day at the age of 67. He never used his first name professionally, and learned bass from his mother, a pianist who taught music and played in an orchestra. His first job was with Clyde Kerr`s 17-piece band at the Tick Tock Club. He also played with Oscar "Papa" Celestin, Paul Barbarin, Albert "Papa" French and Kid Sheik. He went blind as a result of his diabetic condition when he was 58, but continued to perform at French Quarter clubs, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Preservation Hall. |
