ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ TRIO

Discovered at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2006 by Quincy Jones, Cuban-born Alfredo Rodriguez is a young pianist of astonishing virtuosity and imagination, whose playing calls up images of legendary jazz pianists like Keith Jarrett, Thelonious Monk and Art Tatum.

"So striking was the nearly two-hour performance that the audience briefly sat in stunned silence at its end before erupting into a roaring ovation." —Boston Herald
