About
Winner of five Grammy and three Latin Grammy Awards, the Cuban pianist, composer and arranger Chucho Valdés is one of the most influential figures in modern Afro-Cuban jazz. For this unique performance at Town Hall, Valdés celebrates the 40th anniversary of his original groundbreaking ensemble Irakere. One of the most important bands in the history of Latin jazz, Irakere's members included artists such as Arturo Sandoval and Paquito D'Rivera, who eventually became solo stars in their own right.
ONLY NY Tri-State performance.
