Details
Join us for the return of our "first Thursdays" big band artist-in-residence series led by acclaimed alto saxophonist, composer, arranger, and jazz clinician, Bobby Selvaggio, featuring his 11-piece all-star ensemble!
Bobby Selvaggio is one of the leading alto saxophone voices on today’s jazz scene. In the words of pianist Kenny Werner, “Bobby is among the best of players out there,” and legendary saxophonist Joe Lovano praises Bobby by calling him “one of the few young saxophonists on the scene today that captures you with his strong presence, focus, and sound.”
Bobby, who grew up in the Cleveland area, earned his Bachelor of Music in Music Performance from Kent State University. He eventually moved to New York City and earned a master’s degree in jazz performance from the Manhattan School of Music. While in New York, Bobby studied with Joe Lovano, Bobby Watson, Dick Oatts, and Maria Schneider.
Join us every “first Thursday” of the month to experience the thriving sounds of our Northeast Ohio jazz scene! Proof of COVID-19 vaccination or 48-hour negative test required)*
Tickets: $15 ($10 for students)
