September Musicians
David Mosick
Born in 1967 and raised on Long Island, Dave Mosick got into rock music at a young age, playing in bands throughout high school and college. While attending American University, he was deeply inspired by a jazz history class taught by renowned jazz historian Rusty Hassan and was bitten by the “jazz bug.”
He eventually settled into the Washington, D.C. jazz scene, where he studied guitar with Paul Bollenback and Paul Wingo, and ear training with Asher Zlotnik. Based in Washington, D.C., Mosick maintains a busy schedule performing as both a leader and a sideman.

Alfred Yun
Alfred Yun is a Korean-American jazz pianist and composer. His music is influenced by his upbringing in both Korea and the United States. You can hear influences ranging from jazz, hip hop, and K-Pop to traditional Korean music in Alfred Yun’s compositions.
Alfred was honored to be chosen by the Music Center At Strathmore as an Artist-in-Residence for the 2023-2024 season. This includes featured concerts at Strathmore’s prestigious AMP club in January and participating in programs throughout the season. In 2026, Alfred Yun was selected to be part of the Jazz and Sonic Arts: Improvised Music Residency at the Banff Centre for Art and Creativity.
In 2025, Alfred Yun released his album, Voice and Phenomenon, which investigates the different ways we use the voice — gibberish, games, poems, singing, spoken word, laughter, and more. The album invites the listener into an intimate account of these disparate voices and sounds. It is the most personal and revealing work of his career. Voice and Phenomenon was listed on Capital Bop’s Top DC Jazz Albums of 2025.
