    Artist History
    Well here it is,Dave Burns jr. Son of great jazz trumpet pioneer Dave Burns sr developed an interest in music because he had absolutely positively and fortunatley no CHOICE!!!. However it had nothing to do with the fact that people like James Moody,Johny Hartman,Roy Haynes,Bud Johnson and many other monsters in the jazz world frequented the homestead. (HA HA yeah right)Music was engraved in a young mind that caused the word (inspiration) to be inspired. So he got his first mickey mouse drumset at the age of five. As the years went by Burns practiced and dreamed until he turned 14. Burns joined his first local highschool band that covers punk rock classics. Burns loved jazz but at this day in age music is music and theres only two kinds,GOOD & BAD..however it was fun for him to be a part of something maybe he could get some girls in the act.Guess what? No Dice Humm I Wondernder why ? covering sex pistol tunes arent exactley Barry White? Within that same year Burns managed to get a bar gig whith his dad at a local jazz club in roosevelt Long Island Called the Steer Inn. This gig included Bo Diddley jr,Pek Morrison,Burns sr and Wess Belcamp. Pretty cool... over the next 10 years or so Burns Learned how to play multiple instruments, began to study at Nassau Community College, and persude a music major.After winning various scholarships and talent awards he ventured in to the funk/jazz scene around New York playing and Jamming with cats like Billy Mitchell/Larry goldings,Jackie Terrasson,Reggie Workman,Harry Connick jr,PocketSpider,Rainbow Trout,and alot funk it was.Presently Burns has developed a passion for song writing and composing. His new solo Album is full of All these flavors mentioned in the story you have just finished reading.
