Dave Henning hails from Troy, Michigan and studied music on full scholarship at the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music. Originally a trumpeter, Dave shifted to piano and spent his 20s as one of Cleveland’s busiest musicians, playing in jazz groups such as Miles Ahead. After moving to Phoenix in the late 90s, Dave became active and sought-after for his versatility as an accompanist and master of many musical genres including jazz, fusion, funk, Cuban salsa, and more.
