DARYL DAVIS earned his Bachelor of Music degree from Howard University, where he was a member of their famed Howard University Choir and renowned Jazz Vocal Ensemble. In addition to being a vocalist, guitarist, composer and keyboard extraordinaire, DARYL is a professional actor and author. In 1985, 72 year-old Pinetop Perkins, one of the founding fathers of Boogie Woogie and considered to be one of the greatest Blues and Boogie pianists, selected 27-year-old DARYL DAVIS to succeed him in the piano and vocal slot of the Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band. Johnnie Johnson, Chuck Berry's great original pianist, has praised DARYL'S ability to master with authenticity, a style that was popular 30 years before he was even born! As a performer, DARYL DAVIS has worked with countless greats such as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley's Jordanaires and The Coasters, to name a few. He was the featured pianist on Cephas & Wiggins' 1992 Grammy Award winning album, Flip Flop & Fly. As a composer, in addition to his own hits Boogie Man and Broadminded and many other originals, DARYL scored the music to the popular children's story, Abigail. Whether a searing Blues or a pounding Boogie Woogie, Daryl Davis practices what he preaches; to make his audience happy. 'American Roots' signals the arrival of a major Blues voice". |
