David
H. Choy

Versatile
and eclectic are two of the words that can best be used to describe
the musical style of saxophonist David Choy. Covering the jazz
spectrum from traditional to contemporary, David has thrilled
audiences world – wide with
his dazzling technique, the creating of beautiful melodies on sensual
ballads and also the unique ability to use the saxophone as a window
into his heart. Although
born and raised in Hawaii, David’s musical odyssey has taken him to
the studios on the West Coast, concert venues in Japan and touring the
country with artist such as The Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald,
Patti Austin, and James Ingram, to name a few.
David
for many years, has been Hawaii’ most sought after and most recorded
saxophonist. “Colors Of The Heart” is David’s first solo
venture. It features eight original compositions that solidify his
talents as a song writer as well as a producer. “Colors Of The Heart”
is a culmination of over twenty five years as a session musician and
over 125 recording projects. This no doubt, has helped to mold his
style as a true artist. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this first
offering of music by David, and you can be sure that this is the first
of many to follow. MUSICAL
