Davis Cup is the debut album by American jazz pianist Walter Davis Jr. recorded on August 2, 1959 and released on Blue Note the following year—Davis's sole release for the label, and one of his few recordings as leader.[2]
In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine says, "Walter Davis Jr.'s debut record as a leader for Blue Note is a terrific hard bop session, a driving collection of six original tunes that emphasize the strengths not only of the pianist himself, but also his supporting band... It all adds up to a wonderful straight-ahead hard bop date, one that's so good it's a wonder that Davis didn't receive another chance to lead a session until 1979."[3]
