Alfredo Rodriguez & Pedrito Martinez

Presented by Jean Marc Dumontet (PLATESV-R-2022-011004).Grammy Award nominees Alfredo Rodriguez and Pedrito Martinez captivate and electrify audiences. A classically trained pianist, Rodriguez was formed by the classical school of the Havana Conservatory. His musical language is as much nourished by Bach and Stravinsky as by Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz. For his part, Martinez learned music as an autodidact in the Cayo Hueso neighborhood, in the heart of Old Havana. An extraordinary Cuban duo, an essential part of today's "latin-jazz" landscape.Program:Compositions from the album Duologue and Alfredo Rodriguez's album • ¡Take Cover!, covers of pop and Cuban classicsPerformers:Alfredo Rodriguez • pianoPedrito Martinez • percussionsOpening act – Kim Bernard • piano
