Experience -
David Neale
Began his professional music career in the mid eighties. From the
mid eighties until the early 90's he fronted three jazz bands on
trombone. He started playing jazz wind bass with the "Sultan's Six
Dixieland Jazz Band". He was the bass player with this group until
it’s eventual demise. He was mentored by Eddy White the cornet
player / promoter of the Sultan’s Six. David spent many hours with
Eddy learning about Jazz, and enjoying the truly great talent that
was “Eddy White”. David was doubly fortunate though, because another
great musician, and coincidentally Eddy’s son – “Ben White”,
attended a great majority of his learning sessions with Eddy. Ben
played a huge part in influencing the learning curve and the
eventual bass styling that David produced. During countless hours of
learning sessions David and his two teachers became very close. The
friendship forged lasted with Eddie until his passing in September
2001 and continues with Ben today. |
