4th and Goal Jazz Project

About Me

A professional jazz pianist since 1981, Dave Ihlenfeld is today based in Scottsdale, AZ. The 4th and Goal Jazz Project was born from a college jazz band of the same name, whose goal was listening, learning, writing, and playing jazz. That goal continues today, with jazz old and new being explored through a variety of performances and with an ever-changing variety of musicians. Influences from music, art, the great outdoors, friends, and life experiences lend themselves to the creation of new music that is explored at project gigs. Contributing in any way to the great American art form that is Jazz is an honor shared through this website.
