About Dave
Grew up in Glencoe, IL, before moving back to Chicago at the age of 19. His love affair with music began at just 9 years old when he discovered the piano and soon after, reel-to-reel recorders. This early passion for composing and recording music led Dave to the prestigious Berklee School of Music, where he honed his craft. Since then, he has released eight albums of original music and performed at some of Chicago’s iconic music venues, including the Green Mill and Fitzgerald’s. Dave is also the driving force behind the Dave Gordon Quintet, always eager to join jam sessions with friends.
