That’s in addition to his work in a myriad of other genres, alongside the varied likes of Gloria Gaynor, Nile Rodgers, P-Funk, Bernie Worrell, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Ben Vereen, and Gil Scott Heron.

-Thom Jurek All Music Guide (AMG)

"it's apparent that Dave has been influenced by some of the best.”
-WorldSpace Corporation Satellite Radio
