Dave Warren

There a short PDF of Dave bio information and Dave sends along this to get us started this evening...

"New Millennium Jazz: Dave Warren is an artist, who, after emerging from the New York / East Coast Area, began to reveal his diverse musical influences in early 2000.   The wealth of music available to the modern musician has strongly served to help create a new-well rounded, balanced sound, 'NewMil Jazz'.  Dave Warren is on the forefront of this movement. The Dave Warren Group, an instrumental trio with a strong supporting cast (drums, horns, percussion) performs an incredible variety of music, though his jazz subtleties never go unnoticed.  Dave landed in San Diego in 1989 and immediately resumed his thorough study of music.  His lead-by-example player of choice was SDSU's Bob Boss (A.J. Croce), with whom Dave studied with for years.  He has also studied with Oregon State's Neal Grandstaff and used Peter Sprague's jazz guitar methods. Through the 90's and forward,  Dave has performed in numerous jazz & funk ensembles, and also scores music for film and television.  Dave[base ']s music has received strong reviews from KSDS-FM and also from Academy Award®-Winning sound editor Elliot Tyson in Los Angeles.  His music has received airplay on Jazz 88 in San Diego and also at  ABC television affiliate KGTV, where he was contracted to write a news theme and other promotional music. Dave[base ']s biggest guitar influences are Robben Ford, Wes Montgomery, and Pat Martino. Dave naturally stresses the importance of disciplined practice and a wide exposure to music with an open mind. He sees any musical learning experience as the simple study of music rather than any particular style such as jazz or classical. His album "Funplay" is dedicated to the important notion of performing or listening to music for the purest of reasons, enjoyment.  "I've always learned tunes I didn't like in order to improve my technique, or performed music I didn't love personally, but on this record there's nothing, that, so to speak, isn't fun to play."

Will be fun
