David is a titan of a tenor player, with a high profile career reaching back to the early 1990s when the Broun Fellinis made their debut on the local scene, mixing Afro-Caribbean strains into straight ahead and acid jazz. He’s also a wonderful writer, with a great piece of prose fiction featured in the latest issue of Bird & Beckett’s literary annual, “Amerarcana.”
