Atlanta, GA - Grammy Award winning pianist Chucho Valdés will add a bit of Latin flavor to Atlanta nightlife when he performs live and in concert at the Atlanta Symphony Hall on Sunday, December 14 at 7 pm.
Luis Gonzalez, president of Atlanta-based LMG Productions Inc., says he began his quest to bring Valdés, a Blue Note Records artist, to Atlanta after his album, Fantasia Cubana", was nominated for a Latin Grammy.
"Fantasia Cubana", which features renditions of classical pieces from Chopin, Debussy and Latin composer Lecuona, demonstrates Chucho Valdés diverse musical genius," says Gonzalez. I think this is the perfect time to bring this Latin sensation to Atlanta."
Valdés, who was introduced to American jazz greats Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughn by acclaimed keyboardist and father, Bebo Valdés, has been revered by many in the Latin and American musical communities as the Latin Duke Ellington.
Valdés and his highly successful jazz ensemble took home the Latin Grammy for Live at the Village Vanguard" in 2000. He also won Grammy Awards for collaborations with other artists including trumpeter Roy Hargrove on the Habana" CD and Buena Vista singer Ibrahim Ferrer on Good Brothers". The virtuoso released his latest CD, New Conceptions", in September.
The pianist, hailed by Time Magazine" as one of the worlds greatest pianists, will entertain audiences with a musical collage from New Conceptions", the Grammy nominated Fantasia Cubana" and recordings made with Irakere.
