DANILO PEREZ TRIO
Danilo Perez piano, Ben Street bass, Adam Cruz drums
Like his homeland Panama the piano playing of Danilo Perez connects two continents. North American jazz and soul and Latin American rhythms merge in his ‘Pan-American’ compositions. At 8 years of age he started his classical training at conservatory. Later he played on Grammy winning albums by Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval and Wayne Shorter. ‘When the dust settles, the pianist Danilo Perez will be looking like one of the best things that happened to jazz around the turn of the millennium’ (New York Times).
