A soulful blend of jazz and R&B creates the distinctive blue-eyed soul sound of California-based keyboardist, composer, and arranger David Diggs. Named one of three best new artists by Cash Box and Billboard in 1985, when his fourth solo album, Streetshadows, spent 26 weeks in the Top Ten of Billboard's jazz charts, Diggs has continued to make his presence felt as a producer/arranger. His resumé includes producing, arranging strings and horns, and playing on recordings by <a href="spotify:artist:3rxIQc9kWT6Ueg4BhnOwRK">Quincy Jones</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3oZa8Xs6IjlIUGLAhVyK4G">Irene Cara</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5gl2M2G5Dn5XTEW30iMMoD">Jonathan Butler</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2KpCZazKx8c2qBDtNXvmvf">Richie Furay</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6h3rSZ8VLK7a5vXjEmhfuD">the Brothers Johnson</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7fmKtIgmxqNEKjATioVNsu">Pat</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1UkHCANZmdkKyVNvTLMrcJ">Debby Boone</a>. He has produced three Grammy-nominated albums: <a href="spotify:artist:6f3M8X0DDJPcdvwMLoyIas">Bob Bailey</a>'s I'm Walking, Barry McGuire, and the music for comedian <a href="spotify:artist:0CYgOxMG4F7PsgNnnKhrTl">Jonathan Winters</a>' Finally Captured, Vol. 1.
