Acclaimed alto saxophonist returns to BLU with all-star band for an evening of high-energy live jazz! Featuring Bobby Selvaggio, Theron Brown, Paul Thompson, Zaire Darden.
Bobby Selvaggio is one of the leading voices on alto sax in today's jazz scene. In the words of two of today’s main figures in jazz: "Bobby is among the best of players out there..." (Kenny Werner) -and- "Bobby is one of the few young saxophonists on the scene today that captures you with his strong presence, focus, and sound..." (Joe Lovano)
Bobby plays alto and soprano sax, alto clarinet, flute, is a bandleader of multiple projects, composer and arranger, jazz clinician, and is the Director of Jazz Studies at Kent State University. After living in New York City for 4 years, gigging all over the city at such places as the Vanguard and Birdland, and getting a Masters in Jazz Performance from Manhattan School of Music, Bobby moved back to Cleveland with his family and has recorded 8 CD's on major jazz record labels Playscape Recordings, Arabesque Records, and Origin Records, booked International gigs and tours with his various bands, is continually creating new musical projects, and has published a book on improvisation titled "The Art of Spontaneous Improvisation."
