Versatile trumpet player with extensive jazz background, recording credits from Tom Jones to Harry Connick Jr.

I am a veteran NYC trumpet player with a firmly established career as a creative improviser and composer as well as all-around player. I also play commercial/lead trumpet and classical repertoire and play trumpet, flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet. I have recorded on more than 50 albums as a sideman (including 2014 Grammy nomination), plus 3 albums as a leader and 2 more as a co-leader. Visit my website at www.davesmithtrumpet.com

    Brilliant - gave the song what it needed, and did so with really nice tone and phrasing, too. Thanks!

    Dave is the just best! I've worked with Dave for the first time at the BMI NYC Jazz Composers Workshop and he showed himself to be a brilliant musician. He always captured the sublime even when we were merely sight-reading charts; So getting a chance to work with Dave recording my original music has been a such a special experience that words just don't suffice. DAVE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    I was very excited to get a chance to invite Dave to record trumpet on one of my large-ensemble compositions. Dave is brilliant and versatile musician on every level. He has a beautiful sound; is a great section player as well as a superior improvisor. Thank you Dave!
