Congratulations to Schilke Artist JOHN DAVERSA on receiving THREE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS!
John Daversa Big Band – KALEIDOSCOPE EYES: MUSIC OF THE BEATLES

Nominated for:

  • Best Large Jazz Ensemble
  • Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella
  • Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals

Daversa’s big band release, Kaleidoscope Eyes: Music of the Beatles(2016), reverently twists and melts the iconic Beatles songbook with a 40+ orchestra featuring vocal artists Renee Olstead and Katisse Buckingham. Terence Blanchard states, “This is art. This is what music should be. No re-creation. No mimicking. Just honesty. Fearless honesty.”

John Daversa performs on the Schilke HC2-L Handcraft Bb Trumpet and Flugelhorn.
