Alfredo Rodriguez Trio

Cuban master pianist takes inspiration from the musical wealth of the city of Miami.

Alfredo Rodríguez took a big leap when he moved from Havana, Cuba to America. The freedom of jazz attracted him and he left his strict classical education behind him. His career took off and he was even nominated for a Grammy. Now he lives in Miami, where he’s constantly inspired by the musical melting pot of the Latino community. Salsa, timba, bachata, tango, bolero en reggaeton: all these radiant sounds are part of Alfredo’s new album Coral Way, which will be released this fall.

Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodríguez was discovered by Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2006. Since then he has released four albums under his own name. He has performed several times with his idol Chick Corea. In 2019 he played before a sold-out Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ together with Richard Bona, a concert that was co-organized by our venue. Now he will return to our stage with his main trio, which captivated a full house in 2021.
