Winner of five Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, Cuban born Dionisio Jesús “Chucho” Valdés Rodríguez has performed all over the world in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl, and has shared the stage with such musical luminaries as Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Branford and Wynton Marsalis, Carlos Santana, Grover Washington Jr., Dizzy Gillespie, Taj Mahal, and Tito Puente to name but a few. “Whether Chucho Valdés is performing a gentle ballad or a rousing foot-stomper, his joy in playing and his love of the music always shines through. He can tickle the ivories with the soft grace of Bill Evans and dazzle with the thunderous dexterity of Art Tatum or Oscar Peterson.” ALL ABOUT JAZZOther Performances You May Enjoy
