David Turanski

David Turanski was born in Philadelphia and started violin instruction at age four until his teacher suggested he try a different instrument. A few years and many piano lessons later, he started playing guitar and later went on to serious study. Then one day, at a bluegrass jam in Dallas TX, he picked up an upright bass. He took to it immediately and finally started getting some gigs. Soon after, he could be seen hanging around Dallas Blues clubs playing electric bass. Over the years David has performed with many bands, laying down the groove in a variety of styles including Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, Country, Traditional, Irish, Classic Rock, Jazz, Swing, and Gypsy Jazz. Since returning to Philadelphia in 2001 David's main focus has been Swing, Jazz and Gypsy Jazz. He performs regularly with Andrea Carlson and the Love Police, as well as with Art Fischman, Djangoholics Anonymous, and Crystle Combo.
