Before
recording his self-titled debut album, Dave played on albums
by acts as varied as Joan Armatrading, U2, Ray Charles, Donny
Osmond, Richard Marx and Gladys Knight & The Pips. For his
debut, Dave teams with some of the music business' best,
including two artists who helped launch his career, Jeff
Lorber and Bobby Caldwell. On his first album, Dave is supported
by Lorber (keyboards), Buzz Feiten (guitar), Randy Jackson
(bass) and Tom Scott (sax), with vocal contributions from
Cole Basque and Joey Diggs. Dave plays the sax with a fresh,
new, a-typical exuberance with a reach that includes the
full spectrum of pop, jazz and R&B. His passion and joy for
the saxophone is unmistakable - on the track “Love Of My
Life,” the mix of funky beat and Ms Basque's piercing vocal
creates an unforgettable effect that lingers. Anyone who
hears Dave’s debut is excited by his limitless potential
and the imminent success which looms on the horizon. Listeners
and musical contemporaries alike imagine the bright musical
career that lay ahead for Dave and are thrilled by this Lucky
Man who will soon come to define the smooth-jazz genre.
