The Dan Davis Group is a jazz organ trio featuring Doug Largent – Hammond organ, Kevin Van Sant – guitar, and Dan Davis on 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, Joey DeFrancesco, and the Meters to Duke Ellington, Larry Goldings, The Tony Williams Lifetime, and the Great American Songbook.


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!
