Applause - Bobby Selvaggio, Musician

Applause

One of Northeast Ohio's most accomplished sax players, Ernie Krivda, began his career at age 13 playing Cleveland polka clubs, and went on to play with some of the biggest names in Motown -- including the Temptations and the Four Tops -- and to sharing the stage with legends of jazz like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. Ernie Krivda, along with bassist Pete Dominguez and drummer Ron Godale, take the stage as part of this year's Tri-C Jazz fest on April 20th at 4 p.m. at the East Cleveland Public Library auditorium. We'll featured Ernie Krivda and the Art of the Trio.

Ever since he was a boy of 11, Bobby Selvaggio knew that jazz was his calling. It didn't hurt that Bobby's dad Pete Selvaggio was an acclaimed jazz musician who passed his passion onto his son. Today, Bobby Selvaggio is considered one of the most innovative players and composers of jazz in Northeast Ohio. We'll take a look back at an earlier episode of Applause when Bobby and his quartet joined us for a live performance in our KeyBank Studio inside the Idea Center at Playhouse Square.
