Ari's
Bio
Ari
Dvorin began his
study of music
very early at the age of eight. He grew up playing flute in concert
and jazz band later joining orchestra and jazz band. He also attended
band camp. This multi-instrumentalist's roots come from the Middle East,
where a good amount of his childhood summers were spent in Israel. He
draws from Jazz, Funk, Latin and other worldly sounds to create a style
of his own.
In
1994 Ari moved to Boulder, Colorado where he began an intensive
study of the alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones in order to
bolster his arsenal of sound. Ari's talents soon caught the
interest of Colorado's Latin dance sensation
CABARET
DIOSA, who recruited him to play the part of “Arturo El Gigante Sabado”,
the principle saxophonist. Ari is a lifetime member of this
Latin dance troop where he continues to perform his part in the show.
In 2004, Ari
relocated to Austin, Texas known as "The Live Music Capitol of
the World" . Here, he gained popularity by working and performing
with Austin's elite bands and musicians. The deep talent
pool and connections Ari would make in Austin steered him into forming
and leading his own band known as The Lowdown.
Ari travels
frequently to perform. In the past he has worked with world class acts
such as New York City's Tito Puente and his Latin Orchestra, Karl Denson and his Tiny
Universe, Deep Banana Blackout, Spearhead, Ozomatli, Particle, The Big
Wu, The Slip, Carlos Washington’s Giant People, and Austin's Bob
Schneider
(to name a few). Now based in Austin, Ari continues to
pursue his career in music while working in collaboration with
many of the country’s finest musicians.
