Here is David's collection of 6 brand new publications by Norsk
Musikforlag.

"Hand Dance", from David's solo recording, "Air Sculpture" is a
adventurous journey for 4 marimbists into the pulsating, sensuous world
of african marimba music.

"Texas Hoedown" is an infectiously driving groove piece for solo
vibraphone with a written out solo section. David's gifted vibraphone
student, Taiko Saito, premiered this piece at the 3rd World Vibe
International Competition in France in October, 2005 where she won
first prize!

"Izgalom" is a tribute to David's hungarian roots; tempermental on the
one side, rhythmically probing on the other.

"Trying To Say Good-by" translates the meaning of the title into deep
musical emotion, using rich yet subtle harmonic colors in this short,
haunting statement.

"Marshmellow" is light, airy, with a touch of irony and simply fun to
play. This is an excellent encore piece.

"Vibes and More" is a collection of some of David's more popular
compositions recorded by himself with some of the most gifted and
renowned jazz artists.
