Biography
In April 2000 Gilmore entered the recording studio with his most recent quartet and several guest artists including Ravi Coltrane and Binney and laid down 11 tracks, reflecting his varied musical experiences over the years. . "I’ve been very fortunate to work with some of the most forward-thinking and open-minded creative forces in music today, and their music has given me much to draw upon in creating my own sounds. I’ve learned many compositional and improvisational techniques from various people, but I’m more interested in studying the various ways an artist relates a thought, a feeling, or state of mind with a certain musical concept or idea - the way in which he/she attempts to bring their life’s experiences into the development of a song or improvisation".
Since his arrival in New York City in 1984, David Gilmore has become one of the most in-demand guitarists on the jazz scene, having recorded on over 40 albums. He has been a major presence on the national and international music scene, having toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Japan and Indonesia.
Born February 5th, 1964, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Gilmore sought out music at a young age experimenting with piano, drums and percussion before discovering the guitar at age 15. After a few years of private study with Boston local guitar gurus John Baboian and Randy Roos, Gilmore moved to New York to attend New York University, where he studied under saxophonist Joe Lovano and pianist Jim McNeely. Upon graduating in 1987, he began touring and recording extensively with Steve Coleman & 5 Elements, as well as with Cassandra Wilson, Greg Osby, Graham Haynes and other members of the fledging M-Base Collective. In 1989 he toured with drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson, and in 1990 joined clarinetist Don Byron’s quintet, and also became a member of the group Lost Tribe, co-producing their first two recordings for the Windham Hill label. From the early 1990s onward Gilmore has been called for a wide variety of musical situations, recording and performing with some of the most influential musicians of the past decade including Wayne Shorter, Steve Coleman, Trilok Gurtu, David Sanborn, Randy Brecker, Sam Rivers, and Muhal Richard Abrams. He can be found most recently on recordings by Christian McBride, Uri Caine, Don Byron, and Chris Minh Doky . He has contributed his compositional skills to a variety of projects with Cassandra Wilson, Steve Coleman, M-Base, Lost Tribe, Trilok Gurtu, and Kevin Harris. He has also lent his skills to a variety of pop acts including Japan’s Monday Michiru, Tom Lang of Austria, and Rise Robots Rise in the U.S.
Gilmore is also an accomplished and inspiring educator, having taught master classes in Europe and the U.S. and teaching privately for over 15 years. In recognition of his commitment to teaching, he was honored in January 1994 with an award from the 21st annual International Association of Jazz Educators Convention for outstanding service to Jazz Education.
Gilmore has led a variety of groups of his own over the years, performing in the U.S. and Europe. In January 1997 he toured Europe with his band Global Theory, co-led by himself and altoist David Binney, from Lost Tribe, and in 1998 brought his trio to Austria.
