check_circleVerifiedDave plays GREAT LINES. My changes were not the usual cookie cutter pop chords, and he navigated beautifully with styles and precision. 6 stars.

check_circleVerifiedBrilliant - gave the song what it needed, and did so with really nice tone and phrasing, too. Thanks!
check_circleVerifiedDave is the just best! I've worked with Dave for the first time at the BMI NYC Jazz Composers Workshop and he showed himself to be a brilliant musician. He always captured the sublime even when we were merely sight-reading charts; So getting a chance to work with Dave recording my original music has been a such a special experience that words just don't suffice. DAVE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
