The Dan Bodanis Band
Dave Field - Bass
Dave has performed with Oscar Peterson, Peter Appleyard, Chet Baker, George Coleman, Red Norvo, Lenny White, Phil Nimmons, Rob McConnell, Zoot Sims and many more. During their respective hey-days, Dave was the house bass player at Georges Spaghetti House and Bourbon Street, two of the most important clubs in Canada's jazz history.
In addition to his legendary status of as one of the best jazz bass players anywhere, Dave has also seen double-duty as a "rock-star." During the 70's, while at the height of their popularity with all of their number one hits, Dave toured the world, performing with "The Fifth Dimension." He has also worked with Beverly D'Angelo, and Quebec superstar: Jeannette Reno. Dave's spirit, energy, great attitude and "all-round spunkiness" work like a finely tuned Swiss timepiece; always propelling the music forward in a very positive direction, with metronomic accuracy!
On the rare occasion that Dave cannot make a gig (usually due to a studio recording engagement), the bass chair in The Dan Bodanis Band has been filled by three of the best bass players on the planet! Neil Swainson (George Shearing, Moe Koffman, Oscar Peterson), George Koller (Shuffle Demons, Holly Cole, Marc Jordan), or the incredible Al Henderson (Co-founder/Bandleader of Canadian Jazz super-group: "Time Warp," and music professor at both York University and The University of Toronto).
