David Samuel Pike (March 23, 1938 – October 3, 2015)[1] was an American jazz vibraphone and marimba player.

He appeared on many albums by Nick Brignola, Paul Bley and Kenny Clarke, Bill Evans, and Herbie Mann.

A. Rettenbacher (acoustic and electric bass), and Peter Baumeister (drums), he formed the Dave Pike Set.

[citation needed] Kriegel's compositional and instrumental (playing acoustic, classical, and electric guitar as well as sitar) contributions to the group helped set the Dave Pike Set's sound apart, organically incorporating influences from jazz, soul jazz, psychedelia, avant-garde music, and world music.

[citation needed] Dave Pike died in Del Mar, California of emphysema, aged 77.
