add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
The jazz Sextet is touring the West Coast from Ontario with its usual formidable line-up of Juno Winners, Nominees and the tenor saxophone giant, Joel Frahm from New York. The band consists of Tara Davidson - Alto Saxophone , Joel Frahm - Tenor Saxophone , William Carn - Trombone , Adrean Farrugia - Piano , Dan Loomis - Bass, Ernesto Cervini - Drums.
JUNO Award winner Ernesto Cervini is a sought-after drummer, composer and bandleader and an influential presence on Canada’s modern jazz scene and beyond. He has documented his vision with the Ernesto Cervini Quartet (featuring Joel Frahm), the innovative sextet Turboprop, numerous co- led trio projects including MEM3, Myriad3 and TuneTown, and also the quartet Tetrahedron, featuring acclaimed guitarist Nir Felder, electric bassist Rich Brown and alto saxophonist Luis Deniz.
In all these settings, as J.D. Considine of JazzTimes has written, Cervini “drums like someone who’s an arranger at heart, carefully placing each accent for maximum melodic impact.” He’s been cited by Modern Drummer for his old-school knowledge and feel in the spirit of Art Blakey and Billy Higgins, yet credited by Musicweb International as a maker of music “grounded in the language of hard bop but not confined by it.
