   About Dave King - Bassist

Dave King is a musician, composer, arranger, producer and a bass guitar instructor. Country of birth and citizenship - USA.

At the age of 12, Dave's formal musical training began while living in Munich, Germany with a year of jazz guitar lessons with Ira Kriss. At that time, he was heavily influenced by guitarist, Wes Montgomery. A year later he studied classical guitar with Alex Andrüschek. While still attending school in the United States, where his mother lived, Dave played upright bass with the New Albany Youth Orchestra - and with Jamie Aebersold's student band at Jamie's home in New Albany, Indiana.

In 1970, Dave moved permanently from the United States to Munich, Germany where his father, the dramatic, operatic tenor, James King resided and performed.

Dave has worked professionally as a bass guitarist in Europe since 1971. From that period, he played 15 years on studio sessions, recorded over 350 albums and performed on many television shows and concerts.

He worked in Munich, Germany during the early ..70s in clubs like the Domicil, with bands led by Mal Waldron, Tete Montoliu, Attila Zoller, Bobby Jones, Armen Halburian, Klaus Weiss, Charly Antolini, Toto Blanke and Klaus Doldinger.

During 1971, Dave began playing the bass guitar at studio sessions for Peter Thomas (film music), Harald Faltermeyer, Klaus Doldinger (Jingles) & Embryo (a Kraut-Rock group).

In 1972 he toured Portugal, Morocco, Algeria & Tunisia with the ethno-fusion band Embryo for the Goethe Institut.

After playing on Donna Summer's first major hit "Love To Love You, Baby" in 1974 his position as a consistent and creative studio bassist was established. Digital Underground's hit in 1990: "Freaks of the Industry" also covered Dave's bass line.

From 1975 to 1987 Dave played on and co-produced: 18 albums for the popular German rock singer, Udo Lindenberg.

In 1977 he composed music for the jazz-rock LP Curt Cress Clan and in 1978 Curt Cress and Dave co-founded the jazz/rock fusion group Snowball.

From 1979 to 1980 he composed and produced two 90-minute scores for Udo Lindenberg's films "Panische Zeiten" and "Super".

In 1982 Dave received a gold album for the production of Udo Lindenberg's Odyssey LP with the single Sonderzug nach Pankow.

From 1976 to 1987 he played concerts, radio and TV recordings with Peter Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination and Brass. During this phase Dave worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Bobby McFerrin, Tania Maria, Laurie Anderson, Lionel Hampton, Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner & Elton John.

He toured and recorded during 1985 with the fusion group Consortium which featured Billy Cobham on drums.

From 1986 to 2006 Dave toured and recorded with the United Jazz And Rock Ensemble.

In 1991 he began teaching bass guitar at the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts.

From 1993 to 1995 Dave toured with Chaka Khan's European Group at venues like the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

From 1996 to 2000 he performed on CDs and live with the Morrocan/Algerian group Nassim (Berber-Taureg music) and the South Indian formation Bangalore (which featured the singer Ramamani Mani and T.A.S. Mani and T.N. Shashikumar, from the Karnataka College of Percussion). Both groups featured the legendary Charlie Mariano on alto saxophone.

In 2004 Dave toured Europe with the legendary hammond organist Jimmy Smith and guitarist Phil Upchurch. This was Jimmy's final tour before his death. R.I.P. Jimmy.

Current project: KOINOOR

of course not forget the competition.
is good to hear from you.
I went to a music college here in Brazil coordinated by a famous musician here in my hometown, the name of this musician and Milton Nascimento, so I was able to study his stuff with my guitar teacher GILVAN DE OLIVEIRA, search on these two people because you will fall in love with the songs of them.

Thank you for the delightful video about them there good old boys what live on the Kaintuck river.
All kidding aside, that's pretty idyllic. Their situation with a solar-powered satellite broadband connection could be something worth striving for. Of course that would mean giving up those oh-so-American staples like road rage and televangelists, but you could always talk ol' Jimmy Ray at the feed store into lending you his goat.

The biggest problem on MySpace is the Adobe Flash Player. On my MacBook it often asks for 140% of the processor power to play a simple video. It also seems to be the tool used to get transparencies, smilies and all the other eye candy that has become ubiquitous. That's the problem with a monopoly. We just have to sit and take it. There seems to be a Flash Player 10.1ß, but first impressions say that it is buggy. We just have to wait it out, sort of like Digidesign updates.

All the best,
Steve
