David Feldman (born in Rio de Janeiro, 1977) is a Brazilian-Israeli Jazz and Bossa Nova musician, player of the Piano and also an arranger, producer, composer and sound-engineer.
David Feldman was born in a family of classical and early-music musicians. He started very early his musical studies, playing classical piano at the age of four. At that time, he would drive his piano teacher crazy, because he would never stick to what was written on the music sheet, always preferring to show his personal interpretation of the piece. When at the age of ten he heard “Misterioso” by Thelonious Monk, it became obvious that whatever he was doing had a name: improvisation. David studied with Ileana Carneiro, , and later on David studied with the great Luiz Eça.
In 2000, David enrolled at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York, graduating in 2002. In such a short period of time, he already worked with legends of jazz like Slide Hampton and Claudio Roditi, was invited to sit in at the Mingus Big Band and worked with Duduka da Fonseca and with brilliant young musicians, like Matt Garrison and Eli Degibri.
In 2004, he was semi-finalist of the Solo Piano Competition at Montreux Jazz Festival. In Brasil, he plays with Leny Andrade, Leila Pinheiro, and also has plaid in duos with veterans Paulo Moura and Leo Gandelman. David also continues to collaborate with the great Brazilian NY based drummer Duduka da Fonseca, being the pianist in Duduka’s trio with excellent critic reviews, and incorporating Duduka as the drummer of the David Feldman Trio in New York.
