David Newton (born 2 February 1958) is a Scottish jazz pianist, composer, arranger and educator.
Early life
Newton was born in Glasgow on 2 February 1958.[1] He "played clarinet, bassoon and piano before specializing on piano at the Leeds School of Music".[1]
Later life and career
Newton had a trio in Bradford in 1978 and worked in a theatre in Scarborough.[1] He returned to Scotland in the early 1980s.[1] He "established a considerable reputation as an accompanist to visiting American musicians before he launched his own solo career".[2] In 1986, he made his recording debut, with Buddy DeFranco.[1] He moved to London the following year, "worked with Alan Barnes, then toured with Martin Taylor's Quartet (including [a] trip to India) from 1989 to 1991."[1] He was vocalist Carol Kidd's musical director in the 1990s.[1][2] He also accompanied several other singers.[1]
Newton recorded three albums as a leader for Linn Records in the early 1990s: the trio records Eyewitness and Victim of Circumstance, and the solo piano Return Journey.[2] He then moved to Candid Records and recorded another trio album, In Good Company, for them in 1994.[2] He had a solo piano tour the following year and toured with Bud Shank.[1] In addition to leading his own bands of various sizes, he has also done a lot of freelance playing.[1] In the early to mid-2000s, he also recorded for Bright New Day, including one album with an orchestra.[3]
Newton became a fellow of Leeds College of Music in 2003, where he is a principal lecturer in jazz piano.[4]
