Solo Piano and Keyboard Music by Dave Latchaw.
In 1998 I founded the Latch Music and have produced six recordings of piano and keyboard music featuring the fusion of my Jazz, Rock, World and Classical influences. Below are brief descriptions of each CD. All of Latch Music's recordings are available at The Latch Music Store or the Snocap store below.
"Dave Latchaw plays a refurbished 1924 Steinway on his album 'Reflections' with a delicate
gracefulness that would make the creator of the instrument proud. The songs are a mirror of a soul at peace
with himself and his surroundings. Images of beauty are conjured by the soft and alluring sounds of Latchaw's
piano reflections. Most of the songs found on this collection are spontaneous improvisations. That factor
serves as a tremendously powerful statement and one that is very noteworthy indeed."
- Keith Hannalek "Musikman"
"I loved your tune 'Eastern Dreams', fantastic soundscapes with grooving pulses and genial
vocal scatting!! I believe you are one of the coolest jazztronic music composers."
- Claudio Allia of Insout Music
"Looking In Vol. I" is dreamy expressive solo piano music from my Two Days One Summer session. Improvised acoustic piano compositions recorded in two days by Jason Pittman. Jason did an excellent job in capturing the spontaneity of my performance. I divided the music from Two Days One Summer into separate categories. Looking In Vol. I is relaxing, tonal and gentle with Looking Out Vol. II expressive, dreamy and adventurous. I can hear my whole music history when listening to this music. Influences of growing up in Indiana, the jazz classical fusion solo piano works of Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Lyle Mays, Rick Wakeman, Bruce Hornsby and McCoy Tyner and more.

"Enhance My Trance" uses a combination of electronic ethnic world beat grooves and ambient sounds featuring the computer as my main instrument. This recording is a musical adventure soundscape where the future meets the tribal past. On this recording I am influenced by the electronic ethnic world fusion works of Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Bill Laswell, Karsh Kale and Tabla Beat Science.
