DAVID HARDIMAN’S COMBOS perform in the styles of Swing, Be-Bop, Cool, Contemporary, and Top 40 Styles. Our five up to nineteen piece professionals have performed, recorded, traveled, and associated with such notables as TONY BENNETT, “DIZZY” GILLESPIE, EARL “FATHA” HINES, RAY CHARLES, FREDDIE HUBBARD, “SUN-RA”, etc. The unique song styles of featured vocalist, MARY STALLINGS (formerly with “COUNT” BASIE), NINA CAUSEY, DENISE PERRIER, KIM NALLEY and JAMEY DAVIS (formerly with “COUNT” BASIE) are reminiscent of BILLIE HOLIDAY, DINAH WASHINGTON, NANCY WILSON and JOE WILLIAMS. DAVID ANTHONY HARDIMAN, JR. Performs music from LIONEL RICHIE, MICHAEL JACKSON, GEORGE BENSON, COOL AND THE GANG, ETC. Collectively we have performed all over the world.

With the KEN BURNS "Jazz Series" on T.V., the general public is a little more educated about Jazz than ever before. This is a good time to keep the memories alive of the great musicians that have contributed so much to the Jazz Art Form. I am performing special concerts or club dates featuring the music of Jazz Masters such as “CHARLIE" PARKER, “DIZZY” GILLESPIE", MILES DAVIS, “CANNONBALL” ADDERLY, HORACE SILVER, JOHN COLTRANE, HERBIE HANCOCK, WAYNE SHORTER, FREDDIE HUBBARD, MCCOY TYNER, CLIFFORD BROWN, THELONIUS MONK and LEE MORGAN, etc. If you are interested in us performing any of the above artist music at your venue, please indicate which one when contacting me. Almost annually the SAN FRANCISCO ALL-STAR BIG BAND has performed tributes to "COUNT" BASIE and "DUKE" ELLINGTON (BAY AREA ENTERTAINMENT TOP STAR AWARD FOR TOP BIG BAND 1981).

Further biographical information, references, audio and video tapes and our recording can be obtained upon request. Our album, “IT’LL BE ALRIGHT” recorded in 1978 on the THERESA RECORD label, received “THREE STARS” by DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE. Our album has recently been converted from LP to a CD by EVIDENCE RECORD CO, and is available in major record stores or by mail order by contacting me directly or EVIDENCE RECORD CO. We are presently recording new CD’s, and they will be released in the near future.
