Details:
Pianist, composer, arranger Chucho Valdés belongs to that singular and often untouchable elite of Cuba’s prolific geniuses – all at once monstrously talented and endlessly creative, with a fondness for reinvention in each subsequent work. Over a career spanning more than 60 years as a musician and bandleader, Valdés has distilled elements of Afro-Cuban musical tradition, jazz, classical, and rock into a deeply personal style. Winner of seven Grammy® and six Latin Grammy® awards, Valdés is a giant among jazz giants. The elder statesman of jazz is joined by a fabulous band of musicians of equal measure (and tempo): José Armando Gola on bass; Horacio “El Negro” Hernández on drums and percussionist Roberto Jr. Vizcaíno.
