Lifespan is the debut album by Canadian jazz pianist Kris Davis, which was recorded in 2003 and released on the Spanish Fresh Sound New Talent label.^[1]

Reception

The All About Jazz review by John Kelman states "Davis has a writing style that has already, at this early stage, developed into a unique sound. Her material would fit comfortably within an ECM context; while there is intensity to be found, the overall approach is more inward-looking."^[2]
