David Chesky is a perfect example of a professional musician who spent much of his time helping to run a record company. The New York resident, who grew up in Miami, co-owns the independent Chesky Records with his younger brother Norman Chesky; and because the Manhattan-based company has taken up a lot of his time, David Chesky's own catalog isn't as large as it could be. Nonetheless, he's a talented pianist, keyboardist, producer, and composer who is capable of playing jazz as well as European classical and different types of Latin music (including Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and tango). David Chesky has been in the music world since the late '70s; in 1978, he formed a fusion-oriented big band that included major players like saxman Michael Brecker, trumpeter Randy Brecker, and keyboardist Bob James.
