The Xman’s next show in 2015 is on Sunday March 15th at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall opening for guitar sensation Nir Felder, called "the next big jazz guitarist" by NPR. I’m honored to open for fellow Berklee Alumni, guitarist Nir Felder who won the Jimi Hendrix award! The Xman performs his midi vibraphone with guitarist Russell Golub.
DownBeat has called Charles Xavier a “Rara Avis,” which is Latin for rare bird.
“Xmas Vibe” review by Longtime DownBeat columnist Frank-John Hadley has reported, “Playing vibes, keyboards, and drums, joined by guitarist Russell Golub Xavier fills his wassail bowl with electronic sounds, samplings, Gary Burton-like abstractions, elements of world-music, quirky allusions to, maybe Gong’s vibes player Pierre Moerlen…drift together as one trippy soundscape. Recommended.” DownBeat has elsewhere called Charles Xavier a “Rara Avis,” which is Latin for rare bird.
