"...the music breathes with energy and integrity." -Christopher Schneiders Fox Entertainment
Greetings and welcome to davesharp.com!

Latest Hapenings: The Dave Sharp Quartet just had a smashing good time in Bolinas, California for a gig at Smiley's Tavern, a mere 100 yards from the Pacific Ocean. The line up included Kimo Ball on guitar, Reuben Manness on piano and Chris McGrew on drums. The Dave Sharp Quartet debut CD Jazz Now! has been released on Vortex Jazz Recordings. Click HERE to purchase the disc online, or check out the AUDIO page to preview audio clips. Jazz Now! features Gary Schunk on piano, Andre Frappier on guitar and Bob Harsen on drums. The Dave Sharp Trio appeared at the Lansing Olde Town Jazz Festivall in Downtown Lansing in August 2003. A huge thunderstorm rolled in as we hit our second tune, but we kept playing and the audience kept listening! Luckily there were no electrocutions... Many thanks to those who run the festival for a truly enjoyable musical experience. The DST also played the Petoskey Jazz Festival at the historic City Park Grille in downtown Petoskey, the former hangout of Ernest Hemmingway. On the closing night we debuted two original compositions, The Mystery Blues and Blackout, both to be featured on the new CD.
