David Urquhart-Jones reached performers and listeners alike with music that was accessible, exhilarating, and reflective of contemporary musical pluralism. With extensive experience as a pianist, orchestral player, conductor, and teacher, he was grounded in the classical field yet also a talented jazz pianist. As a full-time composer, David drew inspiration from Bach, Mozart, Stravinsky, Milhaud, and others, creating works that fused classical and jazz styles. His compositions featured precisely scored improvisational episodes with optional chord symbols for true improvisation, often crafted for professional classical musicians who enjoyed jazz. David also composed serious, “straight” works, including pieces for piano, small ensembles, and orchestra, as well as pieces for young musicians.
