Daily Dose Of Jazz…
Dorian Ford was born on July 5, 1967 in London, England and started playing jazz in his early teens when he began attending weekly workshops led by trumpeter, composer, broadcaster, and music writer Ian Carr. Playing alongside many musicians who went on to form the backbone of the London jazz renaissance of the 1980s, he won a scholarship to Berklee College of Music, receiving the prestigious Chick Corea Jazz Masters Award. Piano studies were with Donald Brown, a regular in Art Blakey’s band at the time.
