At 26 years old, David Neves is one of the most active and exciting trumpet players in New York and Boston’s jazz scene. A native of Massachusetts, Neves was awarded a full scholarship to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, he was chosen to be a member of the prestigious Berklee Global Jazz Institute. Through this program, David had the privilege of studying with some of the most accomplished and well-known jazz musicians in the world, including Wayne Shorter, Dave Liebman, Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, Joe Lovano, and George Garzone. Neves then attended the prestigious New England Conservatory where he received his Master’s of Music in Jazz Performance. At NEC, David studied under and with a diverse group of artists, including John McNeil, Laurie Frink, Ralph Alessi, Miguel Zenón, Jason Moran, Fred Hersch, Dave Holland, and Jerry Bergonzi.
A world-class musician, David’s talents have sent him all over the globe to venues such as the 2011 Panama Jazz Festival and the JEN Conferences in both New Orleans and Louisville. In 2010, Neves traveled to Sydney, Australia, where he won first prize in the International Trumpet Guild’s Jazz Solo Competition. He has also performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, Scullers Jazz Club, Regatta Bar, NEC’s Jordan Hall, and the Berklee Performance Center.
For the last two years, Neves has been in a rotation of young musicians who regularly perform at Wally’s Jazz Cafe, a historic venue located in downtown Boston. He plays both as a sideman and a bandleader. It was at this club where he met the famed trumpeter Jason Palmer, one of David’s most influential musical mentors.
Inspired by collaboration, Neves has been honored to record with numerous jazz artists. Some of the albums he appears on include Dedication with drummer Brendan Day and Birds of a Feather with guitarist Roy Guzman, both released on Berklee’s Jazz Revelation Records. Mario Castro’s debut Primavera, released in 2012 on Greg Osby’s Inner Circle Music label, also features Neves. In February 2014, David independently released Progress Report, his first full-length album as a leader and composer. This project debuts intriguing, all-original music, and David is joined by some of the finest young musicians in Boston and New York.
David is currently attending The Juilliard School to pursue his Artist Diploma in Jazz Studies under the direction of Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Barron, Eddie Henderson and Rodney Jones.
