David DeFries (born 24 May 1952)[1] is an English jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist, percussionist, composer and arranger, who was born in London, England.[1] He was a member of Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath from 1981 onwards, and continues in both the London, and South African Brotherhoods that perform McGregor's repertoire.[2]
He was also a member of Sunwind, the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Loose Tubes, and the Breakfast Band,[1] which occasionally recorded sessions for BBC Radio 2's "Night Owls", hosted by Dave Gelly. His one solo album, 1988's The Secret City,[3] is on the same axis as Don Cherry and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, jazz meeting world music, with Harry Beckett on second trumpet on one of the tracks.[4] His earlier work includes providing a trumpet backing to Chris Farlowe on Farlowe's album, Born Again (1986).[5]
