The Dan Davis Group
The Dan Davis Group is a Jazz organ trio featuring Doug Largent – organ; Kevin Van Sant – guitar, and Dan Davis – drums. The group performs improvised music from the classic jazz organ trio repertoire as well as original compositions and songs from the Great American Songbook, bebop, funk, NOLA, and “Latin” styles.
Influences include artists such as Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery, The Meters, Larry Goldings, Grant Green, The Tony Williams Lifetime, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Joey DeFrancesco.
The group recently self-released its debut recording, Face 2 Face 2 Face, now available on all streaming platforms as swell as C.D and vinyl. This adds to the group’s live recording, Very Alive: The Authorized Bootleg, recorded live at Slim’s in downtown Raleigh in October of 2024.
DDG was selected as the “Best Local Band in Wake County” by The Independent magazine and has performed at Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, The Rialto Theater, The Festival for The Eno, Carrboro Music Festival, Durham Centerfest and many breweries and clubs throughout North Carolina.
The Hammond organ tradition is a very significant part of American music history. It combines elements of rural music traditions with urban cultures: gospel, blues, rhythm and blues, rock & roll, country music…all have the Hammond organ sound as a part of their musical heritage.
We are honored to play in this tradition while we also work to bring our own musical point of view to contribute to the art form. We hope you enjoy the music!
“The Dan Davis Group brings the smoky, soulful sound of the jazz organ trio into the now. They play with raw energy, deep improvisation, and a rhythm-driven spirit.”
