Jazz in his genes | The San Diego Union-Tribune
For Tuesday's performance, Valdés, now based in Cancún, Mexico, will be joined by exceptional Cuban-born, Los Angeles-based rhythm section tandem of bassist Jorge “El Saguaâ€� Pérez, who has played widely with the Buena Vista Social Club, and trap drummer Raúl Piñeda, best known for his work in Síntesis, Cuba's first progressive rock band and with Chucho Valdés.
And word it that it's actually going to be a quartet, with a saxophonist who also serves as interpreter (important to us conducting interviews and such!).
