Info for Rev
Toronto drummer Ernesto Cervini released REV on Anzic Records last week with his band Turboprop namely Tara Davidson and Joel Frahm on saxophones, William Carn on trombone, Adrean Farrugia on piano, and Dan Loomis on bass. As Cervini states, “although I am the band-leader, Turboprop truly feels like a collective due to the passion, commitment and love everybody brings to each performance.” REV features originals by Cervini, Farrugia, Loomis and Carn, as well as three covers: “Pennies from Heaven” dedicated to Cervini’s one year-old daughter Penelope, “No Rain” by Blind Melon and “The Daily Mail” by Radiohead.
Ernesto Cervini’s Turboprop burst on to the North American jazz scene in 2015 with the release of their eponymous debut. With Rev, Cervini continues to prove that he is one of the most talented drummer/composer/bandleader’s in the jazz scene today, and Turboprop is one of the most joyous and creative outlets.
As Cervini states, “although I am the band-leader, Turboprop truly feels like a collective due to the passion, commitment and love everybody brings to each performance.” This passion and commitment is front and centre on Rev as each member of the band is given an opportunity to shine, and they all deliver poignant and memorable musical moments.”
The album features a well-crafted balance of the subtle and the bombastic, the subdued and the raucous. Featuring five original pieces (including 2 from Cervini), two pop “covers” and one jazz standard, there is plenty of variety for all to enjoy.
"Turboprop is great modern music, played with fire, integrity, passion and a sense of playfulness missing from 99% of recorded music.” (Richard Kamins, The Step Tempest)
