Artist Biographies

• Show Bio for David Dove

"David Dove (born 1971, Long Beach, lives Houston) is an improvisational musician, composer, and trombonist. Among his most recent recordings is A Eyes Always On You with Jawaad Taylor. In 2001, Dove founded Nameless Sound to present and educate through contemporary music. The organization and its artists work directly with young people in public schools, community centers, and homeless shelters to promote creativity, diversity, and improvisation. 20 Years of Sound is a new publication project on the Nameless Sound website, featuring profiles of affiliated musicians-such as Joe McPhee, Maggie Nicols, Alvin Fielder, and Pauline Oliveros-along with an archival deep dive into the theme of The Aural and the Visual."
