What is it you love about being a Jazz Band in Washington, DC? The Washington DC area has a great audience and appreciation for jazz and this atmosphere inspires great performances by our group of seasoned, professional musicians. Every performance is an exciting new experience of sound and emotion that enhances the artistic creativity of the band. We love jazz in Washington DC because the audience acknowledgement and participation brings out the best performances by every artist in the band. We love DC!

How did you get your start as a Jazz Band? As a youth in Philadelphia, Dave Walker started with piano lessons but soon migrated to woodwind instruments starting with the flute as he was inspired by the great jazz flutist Herby Mann. Dave played with numerous jazz bands in Philadelphia before moving to Washington DC to attend Howard University. There he played with Donald Byrd and the black birds as he studied engineering. As he matured, he connected with a group of seasoned music professionals and they formed the DWQ Jazz Band.
