Maxwell Davis (January 14, 1916 – September 18, 1970) was an American R&B saxophonist, arranger and record producer. Davis was born in Independence, Kansas. In 1937 he moved to Los Angeles, California, playing saxophone in the Fletcher Henderson orchestra. 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 player and arranger for the fast growing independent record labels such as Aladdin. <a href="https://www
