Andre Cavor & The Cavor Project$20.00$20.00 Friday 8/03 8:30 pm Buy Tickets
North Coast Contemporary Jazz Saxophonist & Group hit the Stage at Nighttown!
Featuring music from his brand new CD "Road Trip".
Over the past two decades, urban jazz icons Kirk Whalum and Jonathan Butler havepaved the way for emerging artists to take a bolder approach to blending theirpassions for instrumental pop, jazz and soul and gospel music. While those twoartists were well established before they began recording gospel and worshipalbums – and rarely blend the two styles on a single project – saxophonist AndreCavor is unabashedly sharing his lifelong love for both styles of music from the getgo. True to its title, the Cleveland based performer’s independent debut album RoadTrip chronicles his multi-faceted journey – starting with playing the sax in churchand, over the past decade, founding and leading The Cavor Project, an 11 pieceensemble renowned as one of the most diverse bands in the city. Andre found theperfect producer to take his artistry to the next level in Darren Rahn, a saxophonistand artist who has worked his studio magic for Whalum and Butler in addition togenre greats Dave Koz, Wayman Tisdale, Najee, Eric Darius, Jeffrey Osborne andJeff Lorber. “Mixing contemporary jazz and gospel songs on Road Trip felt like a naturalextension of my many live performances over the years,” says Andre, who firstbegan playing the sax at 16 but let it go during his eight year stint in the armybefore rediscovering it in the early 2000s. “So many people I have played for and entertained liked and responded emotionallyto both sides of my artistry,” he adds. “When I started thinking about doing myfirst solo album, I thought I should share everything I truly love to do. Of course, I
heard from some fellow sax players and other naysayers, telling me that new artistsshould never mix gospel and smooth jazz/R&B, that audiences won’t get it for somereason. My response was, ‘I honestly don’t think you were conceived to a gospeltune!’ and then told them I believed that people that love church and God also loveR&B. I felt it was important to share my entire self with people. Including both onRoad Trip was the perfect way to share my entire self with everyone.” Andre laid the foundation for Road Trip with hundreds of performances as leader ofThe Cavor Project, which has been a mainstay on the Cleveland music scene since2007. The band is known for infusing fresh, explosive energy into vocal andinstrumental classics from the 80’s through 2017 and spicing up their set list withdynamic originals. The Cavor Project performs a grooving mix of R&B, smooth jazz,hip-hop, reggae, pop, blues, rock and gospel. When I see the smiles on people’s faces when they hear my music, it’s anoverwhelming feeling and confirmation that I’m doing exactly what I am put hereto do. My goal is always to make people happy, and now with the release of RoadTrip, I’m excited about reaching beyond my comfort zone and sharing the joy withmore people.”

Travis Haddix began playing the piano at the age of seven in his home town ofWalnut, Mississippi, located thirty miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. The turningpoint in his musical learning experience came when he was eight, when thelegendary B.B. King came to Memphis and began playing daily at the studios ofWDIA.

Haddix has received rave reviews in Living Blues Magazine, Blues Revue, RealBlues, Big City, Jefferson and Audience Magazine, and he has toured Europe since1992. His style evokes the sounds of the great Stax-Volt days, when the likes ofSam & Dave ruled the urban blues roost. His fifth release on Ichiban Records is A
Big Ole Goodun', featuring the Travis Haddix band (together since 1988). Heproves, once again, that he is a fixture in the modern blues industry with songslike. "Make Me Say Please" , "From Bad to Worse", and the made-for-jukebox single,"(She Called Me) Knucklehead".
Travis received 4 awards in 1999. Best Male Blues Artist, Best New Blues Artist,Best Blues Entertainer and Contemporary Blues Artist Of The Year.

His professional career began in 1969 when he joined the Buddy Rich Big Band.And after stints with the Lionel Hampton Big Band and the Doc Severinsen BigBand, Cole formed his own quintet and toured worldwide, doing a great deal topopularize bebop and his own “Alto Madness” style in the 70’s and early 80’s.
Cole has performed and recorded with the great vocalese artist Eddie Jefferson, theManhattan Transfer, Bobby Enriquez, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Stitt, Art Pepper,Tom Waits, Boots Randolph, and Nancy Wilson, to name just a few of his musicalcollaborations. Notably, Cole has performed at the Village Vanguard and CarnegieHall as well as gave a command performance for the Queen of England.
Cole has recorded over 50 albums and CDs, including his top hit album “HollywoodMadness” (1979 Muse Records) and his tribute album to Leonard Bernstein, “RichieCole Plays West Side Story” (1997 Music Masters Jazz).

The Alto Madness Orchestra was developed by Cole in the early 90's and itscontinuing popularity is proof of its uniqueness.
