Product Description

VISIONS TRANSITIONS is a CD of original and creative jazz music played at the highest levels from some of todays top jazz artists. As Joe Lovano said: "Bobby Selvaggio is one of the few young saxophonists on the scene today that captures you with his strong presence, focus and sound.   He carries you with him on his journey through these original compositions and has put together a fantastic quartet for his new release.   I've known Bobby for some time and it's very exciting for me to hear his development, and see his passion and drive through the years grow and grow......Carry on Bobby !!!!  Thats what it takes."
