Paquito D’Rivera was a Cuban-born child prodigy who has dazzled the music world for his entire career. A clarinet and saxophone virtuoso, Mr. D’Rivera has flourished in the classical and jazz worlds and collected 10 Grammy Awards and an NEA Jazz Master award along the way. He is an international musical ambassador and was a founding member of Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna and the groundbreaking band Irakere in his homeland before taking the world by storm for the last three decades after defecting to Spain and relocating in the United States. His quintet is superb. South Florida piano phenom Tony Madruga will make a guest appearance with his mentor.
