Alfredo Rodríguez Trio at Miller Theatre at Columbia University

About

At heart, Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodríguez is a storyteller, exploring his incredible life growing up in Havana, surrounded by the richness of Cuba’s varied musical traditions. After seeking asylum in the U.S. in 2009, he was mentored by Quincy Jones, who calls Rodríguez “one of the most prolific and gifted pianists of the 21st century.” Rodríguez’s trio plays both original music and imaginative arrangements of standards from the Cuban tradition.
