Graduated from the city’s Academy of Music in 1964, but his professional playing experience dates back to 1957, when he began performing with the Zagreb Radio-TV Big Band.

The period that followed he toured with the quartet in Europe and the USSR.

Since 1967 Davor lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.His daily work was devoted to the University College of Dance and Choreography, where he was teaching, playing, and composing for dance (modern and jazz) for more then 30-years. Additional composing and performances included the TV ballet "Balans" with W. Nicks as choreographer, and TV production "Choreographer is improvising" with P. Christopher.Working with dance in various forms was and still is his main preoccupation, but occasionally he is returning to his lifetime passion the music of jazz, playing solo or together with his son Goran Kajfes, as well as with his contemporary jazz constellations.From 1998 collaboration with composer/cellist Peter Schuback making music in a ”free improvisation” form.
