David Coss and his Trio
Sunday March 16, 2008 from 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Garage Restaurant
99 Seventh Avenue South
New York, New York 10014 Get Directions
Born in Southern California, David discovered his penchant for a tune at the young age of eleven playing acoustic guitar in a youth folk group. His formal introduction to jazz came from his well respected high school jazz teacher, pianist, composer and arranger, Jack Kunz in the suburbs of Seattle. Of those initial introductions, David says Ive been very blessed being surrounded by some of the most talented people and this was true of Jack. He was tough, demanding and taught me how to swing. I did listen to all the great Motown, disco and a lot of cool 80s bands, but found that the rhythm of a swing tune, the sensitive lyrics of a ballad and the colorful harmonies found in jazz really spoke to me.

Davids continued enthusiasm led him to Cornish College of the Arts where he met internationally renowned vocalist Jay Clayton and others who encouraged him to nurture his natural gifts.

A move to New Yorks Greenwich Village found David at the epicenter of jazz. He remembers, It was scary but fun moving to New York. I didnt know anyone but felt quite at home at the many jazz haunts that were right outside by door. Old timers like the late Al Bundy, who played piano at Arthurs Tavern for thirty years, would always invite me up to sing. I became part of a big jazz family that made me feel as if I belonged. As a result, Ive met many of New Yorks finest vocalists and musicians. David would regularly frequent such popular spots as the Five Oaks, The Village Gate and Smalls, Judys and Birdland.

David can now be seen every Sunday night at Garage Restaurant and Caf
