Jazz Beat: Ernie Krivda is at the Blue Room Friday night

Ernie Krivda may be best-known in his native Cleveland, Ohio — where he was born 71 years ago as Krvda Ernö — but he brings a resume any jazz musician would envy. He started out with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. Cannonball Adderley introduced him to Quincy Jones, with whom he toured and recorded. And he has performed with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Elvin Jones. You’ll understand why he has stayed in high demand when you hear the precision and crispness of his tenor sax. At the Blue Room, you’ll also be able to see how he plays, his body bending and twisting with an old-school energy that rides a line between bebop and swing. Krivda takes over the Jazz District on Friday night.
