Dave offers his own Jazz workshop. Its purpose is to expose motivated and interested young musicians to the same love and understanding he received when he was a child.
David has performed with reknowned Jazz artists around the globe, in places like Shanghai's Melting Pot, London's Jazz Cafe, and in subways of New York City in a program called "Music Under New York"!
