Search - David Bixler :: Auction Project (Jewl)

"A veteran sideman on the New York jazz scene, alto saxophonist David Bixler has recently emerged as an accomplished, urbane bandleader and composer." -- All About Jazz * New York alto saxophonist David Bixler and pianist Arturo O'Farrill, musical partners in the Chico/O'Farrill Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, fearlessly cross musical boundaries, improvising over traditional Irish jigs, original Bixler compositions, and a tapestry of Afro-Cuban percussion in a fierce sextet session. * The Auction Project was born out of a request for a high school fundraiser in the form of an auction on Manhattan's Upper West Side in 2006. Bixler rose to the challenge by forming a multicultural jazz sextet with his frequent musical partner, pianist/composer Arturo O'Farrill.
