Born David Joseph Valentin April 29, 1952 in South Bronx (New York), died March 8, 2017 in The Bronx (New York), Dave Valentin was an American Latin jazz flautist.

Valentin was born to Puerto Rican parents in The Bronx in New York City. He attended The High School of Music & Art.He learned percussion at an early age, and by 10 was playing conga and timbales professionally.

When he was 12, he took up flute so he could get to know a girl in school who played the flute, Irene Cathcart. He borrowed a flute, bought a Herbie Mann record, and started to teach himself. Years later, he recorded an album with Mann called Two Amigos.

He took lessons from Hubert Laws, who became his mentor.

In the 1970s Valentin combined Latin music with jazz in bands with Bill O'Connell, Lincoln Goines, Richie Morales, Robby Ameen, Sammy Figueroa, and Giovanni Hidalgo.

In 1977, he made his recording debut with Ricardo Marrero's group and he was also on a Noel Pointer album. Discovered by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen that specialized in smooth jazz, jazz fusion, and jazz-pop, Valentin was the first artist signed to GRP and he has been a popular attraction ever since.

Dave Valentin, has recorded over 15 albums for GRP, combines together the influence of pop, R&B, and Brazilian music with Latin jazz to create a slick and accessible form of crossover jazz.

Since the mid-2000's, Valentin has been signed to Highnote Records releasing World On A String in 2005 and Come Fly With Me in 2006.
