Ernesto Cervini is one of the most exciting and electric drummers in North America. He has been leading the wave of Canadian modern jazz for the last 10 years, whether it’s with his quartet, sextet Turboprop or the trios Myriad3 and TuneTown.
Tetrahedron is an exciting new addition to his roster, featuring 2 of Canada’s top improvisers (Luis Deniz on Alto Saxophone and Rich Brown on Electric Bass), and special guest, guitar phenom Nir Felder from New York City.
The music of Tetrahedron is funky and forward-thinking. The group plays originals as well as rearranged standards in an engaging, toe-tapping, highly entertaining way which has been described as “brilliant” and “masterful”. It’s a groovy, energetic trip!
The eponymously named debut album, Tetrahedron will be released on Anzic Records (NYC) on March 6th, 2020 and is already garnering rave reviews across the globe.
"With their CD release Tetrahedron, Ernesto Cervini and his group have crafted a distinctive twenty-first-century sound, pushing the drummer-bandleader’s vision forward, as always." ★★★★
"It’s safe to say Tetrahedron signifies a bold new chapter in Cervini’s ongoing story, the group’s acoustic-electric fusion a promising harbinger of things to come. With the drummer having so many other group projects on the go, it’s impossible to know when a sequel to this memorable debut effort will appear but with any luck it’ll be sooner than later."
"Tetrahedon delivers stirring music with its fresh and engaging tunes and with electrifying performances that daringly and expertly skirt the edge of the precipice."
