Frequently described as cross over, Xavier's compositions are rooted in the artistic demands of Jazz. A jazz drummer from the age of sixteen, Xavier was born and raised in Massachusetts, where the East Coast jazz scene shaped and defined his musical tastes. He went on to study arrangement and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston. From there, he studied drumming at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, New York, with Jack DeJohnette, Stu Martin, and Jumma Santos, and also, creative ensemble performance under the guidance of Karl Berger, Dave Holland, Kalaparusha, and John Abercrombie. Charles Xavier has built multiple businesses and endeavors in the music and recording industries for the past 30 years, including his own independent record “Triggering Electronic Sound Cycles” is a new creative music project architected for improvisation, quintessential in both jazz and experimental electronica. The sound cycles can be repetitive or improvised with live looping and digital effects to alter the original compositions by each jazz player.
