Alfredo Rodriguez Trio

Mentored by none other than Quincy Jones, the prodigiously talented young Cuban pianist is rapidly amassing international plaudits, reflected in his standout performance as a special guest on the BBC Proms tribute to Quincy Jones in August 2016. His expansive style combines a breath-taking technique with a tirelessly inventive imagination, and adds his own individual response to the traditions of his native Cuba. Having sold out successive London concerts in recent years, this will be Alfredo and his trio’s first UK tour, playing the music from his most recent recording, Tocororo – telling his own personal story through the legend of Cuba’s national bird – a tale of freedom, travel and cultural cross-pollination.
