After Quincy Jones first heard Alfredo Rodríguez at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2006 the legendary producer guided his ascent as Rodríguez became one of Cuba’s most visible and creatively unfettered musicians. Based in Los Angeles since he defected in 2009, the pianist has released a series of increasingly expansive albums for Mack Avenue, incorporating sounds from South India, Argentina, Spain, the Middle East and beyond. His trio features veteran Cuban drummer Michael Olivera and award-winning Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Munir Hossn on bass and guitar.
