We're so excited about the Wilson Jazz Festival that we're kicking things off 2 weeks early! The Dan Davis Group will be playing at Downtown Public House at 8 pm on Friday, 9/5.
The Dan Davis Group is a jazz organ trio featuring Doug Largent - B3 Organ, Kevin Van Sant - Guitar, and Dan Davis - Drums. The band performs a range of styles from the organ trio tradition which include jazz, funk, latin, New Orleans, R&B, and soul-jazz. The art and joy of improvisation is the primary focus of the group's performances.
The band's influences range from Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis, and The Meters to Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and The Great American Songbook. The Hammond B3 organ tradition is a very significant part of American music history. It combines elements of rural music traditions with urban cultures: church music, blues, rhythm and blues, rock & roll, country music. They all have the Hammond B3 sound as part of their musical heritage.
