ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ - THE INVASION PARADE (2014) CD COMPLETO
A prominent jazz pianist in Cuba, Rodriguez was born in Havana to a popular
singer and television personality of the same name. The young Alfredo began
classical piano studies at age 10, and as a teen appeared on his father’s show
with many of Cuba’s greatest musicians, and simultaneously played in street
bands while studying at the prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte.
Rodriguez’ father, an Afro-Cuban singer, enrolled his son in a top Havana
music school at age 7. By the time he was 14 years old, the young Alfredo was
the pride of the conservatory, graduating with better grades than the school had
ever seen. Rodriguez was already a local phenomenon when he sent a rough
recording to Switzerland’s Montreux Jazz Festival. What he considered a
fanciful shot in the dark got him a spot at the eminent festival, where he
caught the ear of legendary jazz musician and producer Quincy Jones.
One of twelve Cuban musicians permitted to perform one song each, Rodriguez
wowed the legendary producer, who invited him to America. He sought amnesty. A
lot of other Cubans have done the same.
According to the Florida Sun Sentinel, at least 44,000 Cubans arrived in the
United States in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 (FY13)—the highest total
since 1994 and 10 percent higher than the estimated 40,000 arrivals in FY12. The
U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana issued 24,727 immigrant visas in FY13
(following a decade’s old promise from Washington to issue at least 20,000
migrant visas to Cubans per year after the 1994 “Rafter Crisis,” which saw
35,000 migrants take to homemade boats) to discourage such risky voyages.
Rodriguez made his American debut at the Playboy Jazz Festival opening for Wayne
Shorter, and his career has been on a rocket ride ever since.
Equally informed by Keith Jarrett and Bach, Rodriguez has the melodic intuition
of Brad Mehldau and the fiery fury of someone under 30. His performance at
Barnes Hall will be the last before he releases an all-new album titled The
Invasion Parade on March 4, which features guest artists Esperanza Spalding,
Pedrito Martínez, and Henry Cole. Rodriguez will preview a few songs from his
new album in this not-to-be-missed show.
