DAVID SHENTON is one of the most versatile and in demand musicians today. David studied violin and piano at the Royal College of Music in London from where he graduated with the highest of honours. David taught himself jazz piano in 1998 after hearing Oscar Peterson playing on the radio and began studying with jazz master Garry Dial after moving to NYC.
