Gregory Davis (born January 30, 1957) is a cornet and trumpet player from New Orleans, Louisiana. He is one of the founding members and leaders of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

Life and career

Davis was born in New Orleans and lived there most of his childhood, with the exception of a year and a half in Los Angeles. He began playing cornet at age 13 with the Andrew J.
