Bargeron is a versatile low-brass jazz artist hailing
from
Athol, Massachusetts, USA.
He won his first
lead trombone job playing with Clark Terry's Big Band and from
1968-1970 played Bass Trombone and Tuba with Doc Severinsen's
Band. In 1970, he joined "Blood, Sweat and Tears."
Dave's recording and concert schedule worldwide with BS&T
includes eleven albums. A break in their schedule allowed Dave
to join the Gil Evans Orchestra in 1972 and he remains a member
of that Orchestra currently led by Gil's son, Miles Evans.
After leaving
Blood, Sweat & Tears, Dave became both a sought-after
recording musician in New York City and a well-known jazz
artist. He also records with many artists playing diverse
musical styles that range from pop albums with Paul Simon, Mick
Jagger, James Taylor and Eric Clapton to jazz albums with Gil
Evans, George Russell, Gerry Mulligan, Dave Sanborn and Pat
Metheny. Dave currently records and tours internationally with
the George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band from Switzerland, the George
Russell Living Time Orchestra, Rabih Abou-Kahlil and was a
long-time member of Jaco Pastorius' Word of Mouth Band. He is
also a charter member of Howard Johnson's "Gravity,"
the 6-tuba group that has been together since 1968.
