Short biography
[excerpt from All Music biography]
Credited as both Dave Martin and David Martin, this pianist enjoyed a long career as an accompanist, sometimes leading his own band. Due to his versatility and the fact that he continued performing until the end of his life, Martin serves as a link between several different styles of music that evolved in America between the '20s and the '70s, including classic blues, swing-jazz, rhythm and blues and doo wop.
