David Morgan
Composer/Producer/Performer

From headlining at the Blue Note with his jazz piano trio to his sold out performances as a singer/songwriter David Morgan is consistently producing and performing music that is diverse and dynamic. “David is a truly extraordinary pop singer-songwriter—right alongside his glorious preceding accomplishments as a jazz musician.” (Jim Bessman of Billboard Magazine)

Originally from San Francisco, Morgan grew up listening to everything from the Beatles to John Coltrane to Chopin. In 1987, when still in high school, he was severely bitten by the jazz bug. At the University of New Orleans, he studied piano and composition with legends Ellis Marsalis and Harold Battiste and performed with Wynton Marsalis, James Rivers, Wes Anderson Brian Blade and Nycholas Payton. Before heading for New York in 1992 Battiste released his first jazz CD, “Comment” on AFO Records. ” Morgan has since released two additional critically acclaimed live jazz CD’s, “Hands of Time” (Turnipseed Music) and “The David Morgan Trio-Live at the Blue Note” (Half Note Records) featuring drummer Jason Marsalis, bassist David Grossman and guitarist Peter Bernstein.

For the past 12 years, Morgan has been the musical director and producer for singer/songwriter Neshama Carlebach. Their sixth CD, “One and One” was released in May 2008. They consistently tour worldwide- from the U.S. to Russia, South Africa, Europe and Israel.

As a composer, Morgan has been busy writing for television and film. He writes rock, pop, funk and orchestral music for CBS Sports and scored the comedy feature film, “Hacks,” written and directed by ex-Saturday Night Live writer, Glenn Rockowitz. Morgan has recorded and performed with legendary producer Nile Rogers, singer/songwriter Peter Himmelman and singer Diana Canova. His latest album is “Ordinary Glory.”

“Ordinary Glory is an album that is rather sensitive than sentimental and it shows the extraordinary within the ordinary. His voice touches where he has to touch- somewhere deep where there is darkness and light. Morgan did an excellent job producing "Ordinary Glory," with songs that have echoes of jazz and rock. Simply beautiful.” (Wim Boluijt- Heaven Magazine)
