About Me

Dave Martin has been producing music for more than 20 years; he's recorded bands and singers too numerous to mention, and is the owner and operator of Java Jive Studio, in Nashville, TN.

Though Dave began writing articles and equipment reviews simply as a way to justify the purchase of a computer, his articles, published in Recording Magazine, Pro Sound News, Audio Media, EQ, On Sound and Bass Player have not only given Dave the opportunity to play with some really cool audio toys, but also to meet and write about some very nice people.

As a bassist, Dave's performed and recorded with singers well known, once known, and unknown; with bands playing all kinds of music; from show tunes to riff rock, from second line to polkas, and from blues to Beethoven. And he's performed with the All Bass Orchestra. Duke Ellington once said, "There are only two kinds of music, good music and bad music." Dave has played both.

New Java Jive web site

Hi, folks!I've just re-done my studio's webs site - after 5 years, it was past time. I'm not sure if it's as cool as the old one was, but I really needed to have some new audio samples and other stuff...

Two of my projects are on iTunes!

A couple of CD's that I played on (and produced) have been added to iTunes; search for "Vickie Carrico" and "Jeff Skorik" to listen, if you'd like. (In the shameless self-promotion category, Jeff's CD...
