About Me

David Thomas Bailey is simultanious multi-instrumentalist! Playing a specially designed seven string guitar, in the DTB3, Dave is both the bassist and guitarist. No overdubs or looping of any kind, those are for sissies.Alejandro Castano and Dave met at the jazz jam at Bliss in Arvada (Thursdays at 7pm!). A mere youth, Alejandro demostrates a sensitivity of musicianship that shapes ordinary jazz tunes into compositions as formats for expression. After the Bliss jam, Dave asked Alejandro to join this group.Curtis Gurule rounds out the group as the boss tenor. While attending University of Northern Colorado's Jazz Studies Program, Dave heard some of the best collegiate saxophonists around. After hearing Curtis in Combo III at UNC, Dave was convinced his big blowing sound was just the thing for this group. Far beyond chops, Curtis plays as himself!
