Nick Cavoli (N.C.): Thank you for having me! Our unique sound is a direct reflection of our diverse backgrounds.Each member brings their own musical heritage to the table, whether it’s from Eastern Europe, the US, or elsewhere. These influences intertwine, creating a rich and complex tapestry that informs our compositions and improvisation. We strive to create contemporary jazz that’s both rooted in tradition and forward-thinking.
The Magic of Live Performance
A.N.: The Quintet is known for creating a “special atmosphere” both on and off stage. How do you foster this connection with your audience during your live performances?
N.C.: For us, a live performance is a conversation, not just a presentation. We connect with the audience through vulnerability and honesty. We are bringing our feelings and musical interpretations, and connecting with the audience as much as possible. The improvisational nature of jazz also allows us to create unique moments tailored to the energy of the room therefore every performance is something special.
