Davis Cup is the debut album by American pianist Walter Davis Jr. featuring performances recorded in 1959 and released on the Blue Note label in 1960. It would be his only effort for the label and one of the few recordings where he figured as the leader.

Apart from the lovely ballad "Sweetness," Davis Cup moves along at a brisk pace, with the rhythm section urging the soloists to new heights.

I'm a Walter Davis, Jr. fan, but I'm afraid this debut album under his name is a trifle overrated (at least by the All Music Guide). The Davis tunes on this early session barely hint at the singular brilliance that would characterize later masterpieces like "Backgammon," "Uranus," "Gipsy Folk Tales," "Jodi," and "Scorpio Rising. It is Donald Byrd's playing that is exceptional on "Davis Cup," providing much of the musical interest for what might otherwise have been a lackluster session. Davis, in comparison to the two horns, sounds surprisingly tentative. Should it come down to a choice, pick up "Scorpio Rising" ahead of this one: Scorpio Rising.
