Dave Pike

David Samuel Pike (born March 23, 1938 in Detroit, Michigan) is a jazz vibraphone and marimba player. Dave has been a consistently active percussionist over the past 40-plus years, specializing in vibraphone and marimba, and has built quite an impressive resume to stand on. Yet, because the meat of his career was spent recording for a European label at a time when jazz music was losing steam in mainstream America, he has been among the countless musicians to have taken his place amongst the more obscure and only recently sought after jazz musicians of the mid-Twentieth Century.
