Daily Dose Of Jazz…
Dale Bruning was born on November 8, 1934 in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. During the 1940s and 1950s he spent time living, working and recording in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. During his tenure in the United States Navy from 1953-57, he was a guitarist and arranger, but when called upon he also played piano, bass, vibes, and percussion.
Leaving the military in 1957 he studied at Temple University, graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in psychology. He took as many music classes as he could. Concurrently, he studied music and guitar with Dennis Sandole.
1961 saw him as the leader of the house band for The Del Shields Show, a television variety program. In 1964, he and his family moved to Denver. A broken glass accident in 1988 that deeply cut his wrist nearly ended his performing career. Practicing through the pain during the rehabilitative process was rewarded, and Dale has become an even stronger performer.
Equaled by his talent in composing, arranging and educating, during his 65 plus years of private teaching, he has expressed the joy of jazz to more than 1000 students, and has been featured in numerous magazines.
Guitarist, composer, arranger, author and educator Dale Bruning, who lived in Longmont, Colorado from 1994-2017 and now resides in Thornton, Colorado, continues to perform and record.
