Dave Schumacher has been a touring musician based in New York for more than 40 years. He has played and recorded with artists such as Lionel Hampton, Harry Connick, Jr., T.S. Monk On Monk, Tom Harrell Octet and Big Band, Art Blakey Big Band, Joey DeFrancesco, Mel Torme and many more. Dave has performed in over 460 cities in 41 countries on the live stage and countless major television broadcasts.

Schumacher’s latest release, Smoke in the Sky, is exciting on many levels… not the least of which is that it brings a classic vibe to a project that is entirely present-day. This is a vision of original thought brilliantly musicalized.

Highly recommended listening.
