Biography

 While a young piano student at Philadelphia's well-known Settlement Music School, David Dzubinski was chosen to perform for the composer Vincent Persichetti. Persichetti called David's performance "spirited and warm" and that description still has resonance today.  

After attending Temple University for jazz composition and arranging, David pursued advanced studies privately with internationally known and vastly divergent jazz pianists Joanne Brackeen, Dave Burrell and Edsel Gomez.

David’s accomplishments include a jazz CD (‘Recyclical’), a Jazz Suite ('Strange Loop') with improvised interactive video commissioned by Philadelphia University, a Music Suite ('Paint') for live painting performance with the fine art painter Nathan Distefano that was commisioned by and performed for Doylestown Health and Wellness Center, performances on two of jazz vocalist/composer Kayle Brecher's CDs ('Spy Music' and 'Urban Objects'), a score for the Society Hill Playhouse production of Sam Sheppard's 'Suicide in Bb', and one of Dzubinski's compositions has been published by Freddie Hubbard's Hubtones. Additionally, he was composer/performer at Philadelphia's TLA in the stage show 'The Little Big Broadcast of 1939' as well as the play 'Shooting Magda' at Philadelphia's Wilma Theater. Other performances have included the jazz and third stream group the Klein Four, the Junior Mints, Sotto Voce, Stravinsky Rhythm, Marilyn Flanagan, and The Network for New Music at the Painted Bride Art Center.

Currently, Dzubinski performs in the Philadelphia, New York and South Jersey areas with Brass Roots, Kaylé Brecher, Jazz Diffraction, Elliott Levin, Frank Butrey, The Blue Groove and others at many of the areas prominent fine jazz and blues venues.
