DOUG BEAVERS: Recently garnering a Grammy Award for his work on Eddie Palmieri's star-studded release, Listen Here (2006), Doug Beavers Rovira has become known for his meticulous attention to detail, natural-born leadership, and his unbridled enthusiasm for music. These endearing qualities have earned him the opportunity to perform throughout the world with prominent figures in jazz and latin music, including Eddie Palmieri, Rosemary Clooney, Giovanni Hildago, and Mingus Big Band, both as trombonist and arranger and composer. Doug has just finished a jazz orchestra release entitled Jazz, Baby!, which features a 20-piece jazz orchestra performing traditional kids' tunes in a 1950's - 60's big band style. Featuring Matt Catingub, Linda Harmon & Giovanni Hidalgo and recorded at Lucasfilm's Skywalker Sound, the CD was released internationally October 23, 2007 on the Origin record label and has been receiving extensive radio airplay in the US and will be reviewed in several upcoming jazz and children's publications. Doug Beavers Rovira is currently in the process of releasing his next jazz release, which features a 9 piece ensemble along with special guests trumpeter Alex Sipiagin and Cuban drumming sensation Dafnis Prieto. |
