Dave Howell

(Piano) Started learning piano when he was six years old in Toledo Ohio, home of jazz greats Art Tatum and Stanley Cowell. After banging his head against classical music for a few years, Dave studied trumpet, piano, jazz theory, and early music at the Cleveland Institute of Music in the 1980s. When the West Coast called out to him with its siren song, he moved to Half Moon Bay, California to write seminal MIDI music apps for the Apple IIgs and Mac. Dave has played in bands with a variety of styles loosely centered around jazz, including bebop, Afrocuban, funk, big band, and blues.
