Innovative and electrifying, Toronto jazz drummer Ernesto Cervini has energy to burn, whether radiating it from behind his kit or working on any number of musical and educational projects. With his sextet Turboprop Cervini Blexes his arranging muscles, creating a vast landscape of musical textures, and moods on which these monster musicians can play.
The band features his regular quartet of Joel Frahm on Tenor Saxophone, Adrean Farrugia on Piano, Dan Loomis on Bass and Cervini on Drums, plus Tara Davidson on Alto Saxophone and William Carn on Trombone.
The band's sound is reminiscent to the hard swinging Jazz Messenger bands of Art Blakey, although they tackle a wide range of music; from Charlie Parker to Claude Debussy to Radiohead, plus originals from all the band members. They have already toured across Canada multiple times to rave reviews, and released their sophomore album, Rev, on ANZIC Records (NYC) in the fall of 2017. Rev was nominated for a 2018 JUNO award for Jazz Album of the Year (Group). Their 3rd album, Abundance, was released October 5th, 2018 on Anzic Records and was nominated for a 2020 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year (Group).
