In 1968 Danny
Davis began to produce country music replacing the vocalist with a brass
ensemble (two to
three trumpets, two trombones) playing over a standard country rhythm
section (guitar, bass, drums, banjo). The group received the acceptance
of country music fans that lasted a lifetime. Danny Davis and the
Nashville Brass gave their final public performance
on July 23, 2005 at the Colonnade in Ringgold, Georgia. Davis was eighty
years old at the time. The group performed two shows and received
standing ovations for each.
