The Alex Hoyt Quartet brings a jazz-minded approach to rhythms from Cuba, Brazil, and Africa.
Hoyt, a graduate of the University of Akron, spent years in Miami, Florida where he fully immersed himself in many varieties of Latin, Afro-Cuban, and other world music. He has performed with Sammy Figueroa, Tony Succar, Andy Montañez, Tito Allen, and Luisito Carrion to name a few!
Now home in Akron, Ohio, he has combined his efforts with Dan Kshywonis, a longtime friend and local drummer extraordinaire. Together with stellar University of Akron graduates Matt DeRubertis (bass) and Clay Chabola (percussion), the Alex Hoyt Quartet provides a night of music for the jazz and world music fan alike!
Join us for an exciting night of music as we welcome this phenomenal pianist and his talented group in their BLU Jazz+ debut!
