Ernie Krivda & The Fat Tuesday Big Band
April 4, 2009
This band is one of the most exciting and engaging acts to hit the Midwest music scene in recent memory. Combining the musical values of the great big bands of yesterday with the dramatic energy of a new century, the nineteen piece “Band That Swings” plays each performance into an unforgettable event. David Dupon from One Final Note.com calls Krivda “a tenor-wielding monster who stalks the southern shore of Lake Erie. He brandishes one of the most distinctive sounds in music.”
Ernie Krivda is now in his fifth decade as a jazz performer. He is acknowledged by both his peers and jazz critics as one of the world's great tenor saxophone players and one of the jazz world’s most unique artists. Krivda has toured around the globe and has performed at mainstream venues in LA, Chicago, New York City and Vienna. Krivda has won countless Cleveland Awards, most recently the prestigious Tri C Jazz Festival Jazz Legends Award.
