Introducing to Cigar City Records 🥁… ChicoSav
Tampa native Alex Savinon, also known as ChicoSav, is a multi instrumentalist, performer and educator making his mark all across the Bay Area. Getting his start playing trumpet to the classic salsa and 70’s soul records he was raised on, Chico sav has since parleyed his self taught mastery into not only a formal education at the University of Central Florida but also into a career of cultivating and sharing that same mastery in his many students across the Bay. As a member of groups such as Mr. Whiskers & The 9 Lives”, and the “Platinum Nights” event band as a founding member of Cigar City Records’ “Aliqua”; Chico sav continues to find his voice, learn how to use it, and share that knowledge with anyone willing to take the leap no matter their age or walk of life.
Aliqua (@_aliqua ) recently performed in the WUSF studio for Studio Sessions. They played some original tunes like “A Bugs Life.” Find their entire performance online at wusfjazz . org or search for WUSF on YouTube.
Aliqua, “to some extent”, is a jazz fusion band formed in Tampa, Florida. With members originating from all walks of life and different corners of the world, they blend their cultures and passions into a musical dialogue that listeners can resonate, engage, and change their lives with. #jazz
We had a great time watching @_aliqua perform in the @wusfpublicmedia performance studio for our Studio Sessions series. We were joined by donors Larry and Trudy Rankin who made the trek from Lakeland to watch the taping live. It was a great day for jazz, and @_aliqua brought the energy. Look out for their session dropping soon! #jazz #tampaBayJazz
