Hey everyone, welcome back to another Playin’ Around with Playbook. Tristatesax here. Super excited today, we are going to be talking with Dave Linard from Playbook. He’s a playbook mentor, and an amazing pianist.
“David Linard is a Brooklyn-based pianist, composer, educator, and musical director who loves timeless feel-good music. Currently a member of Sammy Miller and the Congregation, David has traveled the world with the Congregation, playing venues such as Monterey Jazz Festival, Umbria Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Jazz à Juan, Jazz à Megève, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, SF Jazz, and the Bowery Ballroom. He has also toured playing piano with saxophonist Grace Kelly, and playing drums with Gracie and Rachel.
