<\/a>David Ward has true passion in his music. It is music for all.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Vancouver, JAZZ, Blues, Soul, Rock, Indie, Alternative, Everything!!! Blues are the roots to the music I like the best!<\/p>\n
WOW, great entertainment. Classy, pure, soulful, Jazz, Rock show. David Ward is , for a very youthful young man, an accomplished artist extraordinaire! I have not said this about one man, one artist before. The musicianship from the band at this performance was fantastic. Enough accolades??<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I saw an interview and video on Go Vancouver, a Shaw TV local news current events show and it was a combo plug for the TD Vancouver International JAZZ Festival and Local artist David Ward who is appearing at several venues during the festival. The JAZZ Festival caught my attention but I was immediately drawn to David\u2019s warm personality and incredible voice. Then listening to his music I was even more interested in seeing a whole set. Outdoor stage Georgia Street, Saturday.\u00a0We had to be there. The sky was black early in the afternoon but it was as if when David and the band hit the stage all the clouds disappeared. Nothing but clear Blue sky and awesome Jazz, Rock\u00a0 and Soul tunes to make everyone happy and Bam! The crowd was Dancing and singing and having a great time.<\/p>\n The band accompanying David was made of accomplished Jazz\/Rock musicians.\u00a0 Members of SoulStream, a very in demand group accompanied David Ward. Randall Stoll on drums, Karen Graves Sax and vocals, Chris Davis on the trumpet, Dawn Pemberton on stellar vocals, Mark Wilson keyboards,\u00a0 Joseph Lubinsky-Mast played bass and Gavin Youngash on rhythm and lead guitar when David\u2019s guitar string broke and the techs were replacing it. All shows have some hiccups and the show continued without any concern as David\u2019s velvet vocals and smooth style carried the show as well as Soulstream were fantastic! You can\u2019t play Jazz or Blues without a horn section. Karen Graves\u2019 Sax and Chris Davis\u2019 Trumpet added that special pizzazz!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mark Wilson on keyboards\u00a0with Dawn, Karen and Chris from SoulStream grooving in the back.\u3000Dawn has incredible vocals as does Karen when she isn’t playing the saxophone. Chris\u00a0\u00a0Davis is amazing on the trumpet.<\/p>\n Gavin Youngash accompanied David on guitar.<\/p><\/div>\n SoulStream’s Randall Stoll on the Drums.<\/p><\/div>\n Joseph Lubinsky-Mast\u00a0on Bass guitar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Listening to David\u2019s world travels and many adventures in exploring the diversity of all the music that this world of ours has to offer, and his education, it\u00a0 has helped make his music, his poetry and incredible vocals in a class all his own.\u00a0 In my opinion David is destined to be known to all. His CD \u2018The Arrival\u2019 is a must for everyone\u2019s Jazz, Soul, Rock music collection. A new release is scheduled for November 2013. David has also a Canadian Tour and a UK Tour coming up. This follows an already successful tour in Japan and other Tours. If it\u2019s meant for him to get his recognition at The TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, it worked.<\/p>\n You can get more of David Ward and his music at www.davidwardmusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n David writes his own Lyrics and Music.
