The New York Times proclaims Chucho Valdés as “the dean of Latin jazz” and “one of the world’s great virtuosic pianists.” Valdés makes his highly anticipated return to the Luckman Theatre with the Chucho Valdés Quintet. A multi-Grammy Award winner, he has recorded over eighty albums during his illustrious career and has become a true legend in his realm. Founder of the rhythmically innovative Latin jazz band Irakere, Valdés has appeared on the distinguished stages of Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl. The Chucho Valdés Quintet makes a rare Los Angeles appearance in what is certain to be a monumental evening.
