  Steve Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Davis OBE (born August 22, 1957) is an English professional snooker player.
Davis himself has long played upon this image, particularly as a pundit and commentator for the BBC's snooker coverage and as a guest on television quizzes, with an appealing line in deadpan humour.
In 1995 Davis began playing pool professionally and is responsible for the institution of the Mosconi Cup, a multi-day competition between teams from the USA and Europe, inspired by and roughly based on the format of the Ryder Cup.

 Biography of Steve Davis
Steve Davis became a snooker professional in 1978 and just three years later he was ranked Number 1.
He became known as Steve 'interesting' Davis, as his error-free style contrasted sharply with the likes of Jimmy White and Alex Higgins, who were great potters of the ball, but lacked Davis's disciplined approach.
Steve Davis had his snooker heyday in the eighties and has since been overtaken by the likes of Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then Corbis, with its collection of more than 65 million images, must have a street value greater than the Bible, the lost libraries of Alexandria and the collected works of Stephen King combined.
Davis didn't exactly envision this high-tech future; he arrived at Corbis through the back door of intellectual property -- as an attorney interested in the process of protecting the copyright of digitally transmitted images.
After undergraduate studies at Princeton, Davis won a fellowship to study Chinese in Taiwan, and spent the next few years wandering through Southeast Asia and Europe, working on international refugee and human rights issues.

Considering Steve Davis’ nine-months-a-year commitment to Chick Corea and Origin and his ongoing participation in the cooperative band One For All, one might think that his fourth recording as a leader for Criss Cross would sound like a blowing date.
This somewhat unusual combination of instruments blends surprisingly well, because of Davis’ tasteful arrangements of mostly his own compositions, and his willingness to sacrifice the spotlight in favor of a balanced ensemble sound.
During Thad Jones’ ballad, “The Summary,” Davis leaves the improvisation to Washington and Hazeltine, but his playing of the tune’s melody is pure beauty.

 News on Steve Davis
Although Steve Davis was beaten by Ding Junhui in the final today, Davis had a great tournament.
During the final of the UK Grand Prix tournament today, Ian McCulloch broke off well, but Ronnie O'Sullivan was still capable of potting a ball from the break and go on to take the frame.
He alluded to Alex Higgins, getting fed up with Davis in his heydays and breaking off against the cushion and instead of returning the white to baulk nestling the ball at the far end off the table, thereby leaving no pot and an opportunity for a better safety shot next time round.

Two days later I got a call from Steve, himself, the first of a couple or three calls and, although I forget what it was all about, it ended up with LOTUS being allowed to give out mail order leaflets at the MAGMA concerts.
After that, everyone went away happy; Mr Davis had seen MAGMA and not lost as much money as he might have thought; MAGMA found out that a British audience (ready and willing to accept their music) still existed and we did a lot of business promoting MAGMA.

Among many points of interest, standouts have to be “A Bundle of Joy” and “Samba D.” The former is a waltz tempo with a highly attractive melody line, while the latter is in a Latin vein.
Instead of routine 32 bar structures with a straight swing throughout, Davis sagaciously allows the melodic line to dictate the harmonic and formal structure while permitting changes in rhythmic feel within the piece.
It should come as no real surprise that the interplay among Davis and his crew is of a first class nature.
