Biography
The Los Angeles based keyboard player David Garfield has a long career as a musical director, arranger, composer and producer behind him, and he is still one of the ‘Cats’ that you always see playing local clubs such as The Baked Potato, Cafe Cordiale, La Ve Lee. You’ll also find him on world tours with big acts with likes of George Benson.
Over the span of his career, he’s scored and recorded for films (‘Annie’ and ‘Always’ with J.D. Souther), Television (‘Fame’ and its five accompanying ‘Kids from Fame’ recordings), and commercials (Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Seven Up). He has produced many albums and appeared on several as a keyboard player, arranger and composer. Along with his active recording career he toured with Earl Klugh, Michael McDonald, Nancy Wilson, Oleta Adams/Luther Vandross, Brenda Russell and many local L.A. acts and has been the musical director for George Benson and Dianne Reeves. He also appeared on The Tonight Show, Arsenio Hall and Solid Gold, and has composed and recorded more than 200 original compositions.
As if that array of challenges weren’t enough to satisfy his creative urges, Garfield has led several popular bands rock/jazz/funk/world beat fusion bands in Los Angeles since his arrival in the mid-70s. The first of these was Karizma, which he formed with top session players Carlos Vega, Lenny Castro, Mike Landau and Jimmy Johnson. Karizma played sold out club dates in L.A. for years and released four albums (‘Dream Come True’, ‘Cuba,’ ‘All The Way Live,’ and ‘Arms of Love’) to great success in Japan, Australia and throughout Europe.
