David Pruyn comes to his position as leader of The Fabulous Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra^TM from a lifetime in music. The son of professional musicians and a New Orleans, LA. native, began his career at the age of 11 as a circus drummer working for his bandleader Dad. Then followed the path of his hero, Harry James as David became smitten with the trumpet a few years later. After honing his drum and trumpet chops in the demanding repertoire of the circus, David branched out in to Big Band, Jazz and show facets of the music business, eventually studying arranging, orchestration and conducting. Then in 1994, by a confluence of accident and necessity, he discovered the joys of singing. Soon after his colleagues were struck by the similarity of his vocal timbre and phrasing to that of the great Mel Torme and he became a protégé of the renowned Broadway vocal coach, Fred Silver. Along the way David has played 1st trumpet, drums and/or sung for the Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Les Brown Bands and others.
