A major if somewhat underrated guitarist since the 1980s, David Becker and his Tribune (featuring his brother Bruce Becker on drums along with a variety of different bassists) were originally associated with fusion. Over the years, David Becker has opened up his style, matured, and today can play postbop jazz with lyricism, sensitivity and constant creativity without any loss of the fire of his youth. A world traveler, Becker has performed in at least 17 countries and Leaving Argentina is his tenth recording with his Tribune. Several of the selections on Leaving Argentina refer to other countries and the constant traveling that is a part of his lifestyle. The music, all but one are Becker's originals, vary tempos, grooves and moods, ranging from some straightahead swinging, the tango "It Takes Two," an unaccompanied acoustic guitar feature ("Mentras Duermes") and quiet ballads. David Becker's older brother Ed makes his recording debut on bass during the title cut while Dario Polonara's bandoneon is a nice touch on "It Takes Two." Recommended.

David Becker
Active Decades: '80s, '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Fusion
A fine fusion guitarist, David Becker and his trio (called the David Becker Tribune) recorded four CDs (two apiece for MCA and Bluemoon) in the 1980's and early 90's. Although the bassist sometimes changed, the drummer was always David's older brother Bruce Becker. David actually started out playing trumpet but, when Bruce began playing rock in garage bands, David wanted to join in.. After six months of practicing guitar, David was good enough to play with his brother. He eventually got bored with rock, had guitar lessons with Joe Diorio and switched to fusion and jazz. Becker played music in Germany (where some family lived) for a few months and the European exposure made it easier for the Becker Brothers (!) to get gigs in the United States. In 1984 the Becker Tribune spent six months on the road and soon they were recording for MCA. Bob Mair became their regular bassist for a period in the late 1980's and Tom Lilly took over the spot in the early 90's. After recording the two Bluemoon sets, the Beckers moved to Germany and have not been heard from much in the United States since although they remain active musically overseas.
