This once-in-a-lifetime concert is a must-hear for jazz lovers and Latin music fans alike.
With an astonishing 10 GRAMMY® Awards to his name, trumpet virtuoso Arturo Sandoval stands among the most celebrated and influential jazz artists of our time. Praised by The New York Times as “unabashedly spectacular,” Sandoval brings his electrifying artistry to the stage alongside another titan of Afro-Cuban jazz: the legendary Chucho Valdés. Called “one of the great music treasures of the music world” by DownBeat, Valdés is the recipient of seven GRAMMY® Awards, six Latin GRAMMY® Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, and induction into the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame. Together, these two icons promise an unforgettable evening of dazzling virtuosity, fiery improvisation, and the irresistible rhythms of Cuba.
