Jeremy is a U. City native and the son of musicians Roger and Diane Davenport.
From a young age Jeremy studied and played with members and guests of the St. Louis Symphony, which included an early introduction to Jazz great, Wynton Marsalis. After finishing U. City High in 1988, Jeremy was accepted to the acclaimed Manhattan School of Music, under the direction of Raymond Mase. He continued to develop a friendship with Marsalis and it was at this time that Wynton introduced Davenport to Harry Connick, Jr. Together they persuaded Jeremy to move to New Orleans. He enrolled at the University of New Orleans and began training under the patriarch of the Marsalis family, Ellis Marsalis – music educator and jazz pianist. Jeremy went on to play with Harry Connick, Jr.’s Big Band for 6 years touring around the world.
Jeremy currently lives in New Orleans and plays all over town. He has a standing gig at the Ritz Carlton hotel on Canal Street in the space dubbed "The Davenport Lounge" and can be found there most Thursday-Saturday nights.
