Bobby Selvaggio: Beyond Boundaries @ BOP STOP

October 21 from 8:00pm - 11:00pm

Bobby Selvaggio: Beyond Boundaries @ BOP STOP

Bobby Selvaggio's Beyond Boundaries Ensemble, featuring leaders in the Northeast Ohio Jazz scene, explores a wide variety of styles through original composition. The "Beyond Boundaries" concept comes from the idea that music can reach beyond borders, beyond cultures, beyond race, beyond religion, and work towards lifting people up from everyday struggles and healing the world. Featuring:

  • Bobby Selvaggio - alto sax and pedals
  • Theron Brown - piano and keyboard
  • Russell Gelman-Sheehan - guitar
  • Jordan McBride - bass
  • Zaire Darden - drums
  • Jamey Haddad - percussion

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 Masters 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.

After living in New York City and gigging around town at places like the Vanguard, Smalls, and Birdland for four years, Bobby decided to move back to Cleveland with his family. He has dedicated himself to keeping jazz alive in Cleveland and his passion for jazz education has led him to serve as Director of Jazz Studies at Kent State University.

In addition to his work in jazz education, Bobby continues to expand his discography. His most recent recording isShort Stories (Origin Records, 2014) featuring Aaron Goldberg on the piano, which follows Way Of Being(Arabesque Records, 2013), Grass Roots Movement (Arabesque Records, 2011) and Modern Times (Arabesque Records, 2009). Modern Times featured Kenny Werner on piano and Sean Jones on trumpet. Bobby’s Unspoken Dialogue (Playscape Recordings, 2007), also featured Kenny Werner, as well as Jamey Haddad on drums, Ben Street on bass, and Paul Tynan on trumpet.

In addition to playing alto saxophone, Bobby also plays soprano saxophone, alto clarinet, flute, and is a composer, arranger, and jazz clinician.
