His older brother John Bany is a string bass player in Chicago. His younger brother Michael Bany - who was killed in Cincinnati during a robbery after a performance in 1995 - was an electric bass player.  "His ear, his technique, the way he could finger-pick his chord formations were all incredible," said his brother Mark E.

No matter what musical format Dave chose, he could always command a room."  Years of smoking caught up with Mr. Bany, and he died Sunday of emphysema at his Fairfield residence. He was 62.  Charles David Bany was born May 19, 1943, in Dayton, Ohio, to Barbara Stone Bany and Norbert Bernard Bany. He began playing guitar at 12 and studied with jazz guitarist Cal Collins. By the time he was 16, he was playing in clubs and recording. He graduated from Roger Bacon High School and served a hitch in the Navy (1962-64). He and his brother John formed a duo called the Baney Brothers in 1967. (They added the "e" to facilitate correct pronunciation.) The duo cut an album and appeared on the Nick Clooney and Bob Braun TV shows. Their brother Michael and drummer Don Gauck joined them in 1969, and they took their show on the road, performing as far west as Bismarck, N.D. During the summer of 1972, Mr. Bany organized the group David - which included Brown and Michael Bany. They debuted in Albany, Ga., and spent two years performing in cities from New York to Florida. The three merged with another trio to form All The King's Men. They booked a two-week engagement at a club in Richmond where the owner confused them with the "Kingsmen."
"Each night, he would holler out, 'Play your hit, fellas!' So we would play 'Louie, Louie' with Michael on vocals," Brown said. "I don't think the owner ever caught on. As a matter of fact, he wanted us back. Unfortunately, that was during the first gasoline shortage." So the band came home and soon disbanded. Mr. Bany performed solo until 1987, then moved to Chicago to perform with his brother John and nephew Martin Bany. He also played with Jim Bebee's Chicago Jazz All-Stars, and with Chuck Hedges Swingtet at a jazz club in Chicago called Andy's. He can be heard playing on the Swingtet recording "Live at Andy's." Mr. Bany moved back to Greater Cincinnati two years ago.  In addition to his brothers John and Mark, survivors include daughters, Hope Madrigal of Lexington, Allison Bany of Fairfield and Bree Bany of Norwood; a son, Tommy Bany of Orlando, Fla.; a sister, Mary Murray of Charlotte, N.C.; and five granddaughters.  The Bany family will host a memorial jazz concert in Mr. Bany's honor 4-9 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Blue Wisp Jazz Club.  Memorials: Michael W.
