Rest in peace, Cousin Richard. You changed so many lives, your legacy continues, and you live on in the hearts of everyone who knew and loves you.
Cousin Richard, I am so glad we got to know you and talk to you. Next time will be even better. Rest In Peace , dear Cousin.
He was my teacher in the early 70's in N.Y... He said one of the greatest moments in his life when recording with Stravinsky with NY Philharmonic Stravinsky shook his hand and thanked him for being there..... He said he didn't wash his hand for a week... Thank you and RIP Richard Davis.
Rest in peace Brother Richard. You were an inspiration to me and a lot of bass players and other musicians.🙏🏾🙏🏾
I studied with Richard almost forty years ago, and some of the things he said to me then resonate still. Now, I get to pass those approaches along to my students. I attended the ceremony last evening, and it was a thrill to see Richard be recognized not only for the talent he possesses, but for the person he is. Among the warmest, most generous-of-spirit people I've ever met. Congratulations, Richard.
oh my - he is a gem.
Richard Davis played mainly jazz, but he was a session player on some rock albums. See Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" (1968) and Bruce Springsteen's "Meeting Across the River" from "Born to Run" (1975). Well done, sir. RIP.
Richard Davis a raw talent and a wonderful human being! What a lovely interview and insight to this living legend! We Love you Richard! Just got done listening to my Andrew Hill Pax cd and it made me think of you and I went to you tube and searched " Richard Davis Interview " and came to this and am blessed because of it!

Richard Davis, oh yeah!
Congrats, Richard!
I really would love to know what that performance was at the end, with the vocalist imitating trumpet sounds, and where I can watch it! I searched for "richard davis live at sweet basil wisconsin public television" but didn't find it.
He wasn't playing, I have him on a Stitt record and he was badd ass.
so clear how he has been listening all these years - bass has never been in the background!
