About

Chucho Valdés Maestro del Jazz Latino ofrecerá magistral concierto.
El ganador del premio Grammy, Chucho Valdés, es considerado uno de los mejores pianistas del mundo y, por la crítica especializada mundial, como uno de los cuatro mejores jazzistas del orbe.
Acreedor de este premio en la categoría Latín Jazz gracias a su LP "Juntos para siempre" afirmó "Es el más especial de todos, es un tributo a nuestra propia familia, en particular a mi abuela Caridad".
En 1967 formó la Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna y en 1973 "Irakere", la principal orquesta cubana de jazz. Entre los primeros miembros estaban Arturo Sandoval y Paquito D' Rivera. Valdés ha sido el director musical de esta agrupación desde la formación de la orquesta y ha hecho música con toda la orquesta, en grupos más pequeños y en impresionantes solos de piano.
Desde niño comenzó a tocar piano guiado por su padre, el importante músico Bebo Valdés, y a los 6 años formaliza sus estudios musicales entrando directamente al 4to año de la carrera. A los 14 años inicia su actividad profesional en la orquesta Sabor de Cuba, dirigida por su padre.
Su revelación mundial como importante exponente del movimiento jazzístico internacional ocurre con el Festival Jazz Jamboree de Varsovia en 1970, donde fue ubicado por la crítica entre los mejores pianistas de jazz de ese momento, como renovador del Latin Jazz o Afrocuban Jazz y exponente del mensaje jazzístico cubano.
Maestro en todos los géneros, tanto jazz, música clásica y música popular bailable, ha impartido conferencias magistrales en la Universidad de Banff en Canadá, la Real Academia de Música de Londres, Centro de Altos Estudios de los Ángeles y San Francisco en el estado norteamericano de California.
Chucho Valdés ha realizado giras por más de 50 países, presentándose en escenarios de renombre internacional como el Carnegie Hall, el Kennendy Center, el Lincoln Center, el Amadeo Roldán y muchos otros. En su carrera ha grabado aproximadamente 50 discos.

    Amazing Show

    by Musicworld on 2/18/12Walt Disney Concert Hall - Los Angeles

    This was some of the best music heard in a while. Chucho Valdes and his group were amazing. The level of musicianship was extraordinary for this day and age. No matter if your taste runs to classical, rock or jazz, the Afro Cuban Messenger musicians were among the best I have heard. Great texture and originality.Music complex and compelling. Hard to stay in one's seat. Poncho Sanchez and his group were also very excellent. Very entertaining and high level of skill. "Local boy come home" theme made us all feel good. Good show, just not quite as surprising as the great Chucho Valdez. Sound in Disney Concet Hall served Valdez better then Snachez due to the placement of the band further back on the stage.

    Chucho gave a mastercalss

    by pianojazz8s on 2/10/12Jazz Cafe At Music Hall - Detroit

    Chucho Valdes and his amazing Cuban band gave a masterclass on the breadth of style and literature possible from a "jazz band" or "latin band". Chucho flowed from continent to continent; from century to century, and across multiple styles of music from baroque to 19th century Russian symphonic quotes, to ragtime and stride, swing, be-bop, post bop, west African and all sorts of Cuban and Latin styles. While piano, bass and horns played traditional jazz style on one song, the three percussionists were cruising in Latin poly-rhythms. Chucho's effortless technique was reminiscent of Art Tatum's! It was jazz masteclass we were honored to witness.

    amazing musical experience

    by elclinch on 10/18/10Luckman Fine Arts Complex - Los Angeles

    Chucho brought it all out for the show, horn section, three percusionists, amazing basist, on of course Chucho on the keys. Great variety of sound and influences from Afro-Cuban tribal drums and vocals to American blues inspired jazz piano. Plus two and a half encores!
