Hailed as “the dean of Latin jazz” and “one of the world’s great virtuosic pianists” by the New York Times, Cuba’s multi-Grammy Award-winning Chucho Valdés has recorded over 80 CDs during his illustrious career. He has performed with countless jazz masters, including Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis and Chick Corea, and is probably best known for his founding of the rhythmically innovative and influential Latin jazz band Irakere.
