Piano / Keyboards
Dave Fox
The music of Greensboro, N.C. composer and pianist Dave Fox is forward-looking but firmly grounded in the roots of American jazz and rock with hints of European classical styles. His output includes solo piano compositions, instrumental jazz, blues, and eclectic pop and rock. A native of North Carolina, Fox has collaborated with a wide range of well-known musicians, including Frank Gratkowski, Melissa Reaves, Eugene Chadbourne, Scott Sawyer, Bruce Eisenbeil, Mike Wezolowski, Wally West, Ron Brendle, Greg Hyslop, and Kenny Soule. Since beginning his recording career in 1999, he has released five jazz recordings and two rock/blues albums to critical acclaim.
"Fox’s approach on keyboards places the music squarely in the creative improvised sector and is anythingbut a compromise to popularity. He produces a plethora of diverse keyboard sounds; his attack is fully liberated, and his solos are well-designed, spontaneous outpourings."
