Longtime fans of contemporary jazz may remember Dr. Dave from his initial success as a recording artist in the mid-90s, when his albums I Like It Like That, Smooth and Cruisin' made big splashes in the early days of the Smooth Jazz format.

SoCal based composer/guitarist Dr. Dave mounted a massive comeback in 2018, forming The Housecall Band and stirring up excitement among longtime fans (while creating thousands of new ones) with the 2018 release of Midnight Daydream. The funky, powerhouse, horn-drenched album spawned four hit singles, starting with the sultry, infectiously seductive "Sexy Cindy" – one of Dr. Dave's biggest hits ever, ranking #1 for Smooth Jazz Guitar songs in the U.S. on Radio Guitar One's Top 20. The song was named for Cindy Sanchez Medina, Miss Santander, Colombia 2018, who appeared in the much-viewed YouTube video.

Dr. Dave's got another magnificent female muse in mind on his latest single, the cleverly titled "Reserved for Abbie," a seductive, deeply passionate ballad expressing his enduring affection for a onetime girlfriend who lived several states away.

In addition to the across-the-board success of "Sexy Cindy," Dr. Dave's return to contemporary jazz with Midnight Daydream led to a prolific flow of radio and streaming hits, including the guitarist's all-time top streamed song "Cecil's Groove," currently at 3.7M+ streams on Spotify. The title track "Midnight Daydream" earned a multitude of accolades: #1 most added on the Radio Wave Internet Airplay Chart; #5 on the SmoothJazz.com Radar Chart; #9 on the SmoothJazz.com Top 100 Indie Chart and #14 on the SmoothJazz.com Top 100. A third single, "Cabo Time," reached #19 on the SmoothJazz.com Radar chart.

The album's fourth single was a blues, jazz, funk and rock track developed around the opening "Hey Hey Hey Hey" riff heard nightly since 2014 by the house band (who wrote it) on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." Dr. Dave and the Housecall Band followed up in 2021 with Carefree Revisited, a full band revamp of an earlier unreleased solo album.
